Shamit Khemka – Driven by the idea of meaningful corporate social responsibility

Shamit Khemka


Shamit Khemka, the founder of SynapseIndia, believes in making effective CSR, which, according to him, is yet to evolve properly in India. The significance of CSR is often misunderstood or misinterpreted in India. Indian corporations often believe that complying with corporate laws and environmental regulations fulfill their need for social responsibility.

However, for CSR activities to be effective, they should have a wide impact on society in which they function. As India gears up to embrace more development and strive as a leading economy in the world, the role of CSR in socio-economic development has become more crucial. Leaders at SynapseIndia understand this very well and are determined to make a meaningful and effective contribution to society.

The company, through its CSR project, supports social institutions and charity organizations. The International Chandramauli Charitable Trust is one of the main CSR collaborations of the company. The Trust runs various educational and residential programs focused on the development of children through education and spirituality. It has empowered many children from underprivileged families with education and skills.
