Samhita Social Ventures - Assistant Manager - Finance - CA/ICWA Inter

Company Background

Samhita Social Ventures is a consulting firm that works in the social sector, facilitating and advising clients in shaping up and executing their CSR strategies. We bring together companies, donor organizations and high net-worth individuals to collaborate with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and social enterprises. Samhita is supported by the Nadathur Group, an initiative of Mr. N.S. Raghavan, one of the co-founder of Infosys.

Our CSR consulting practice has worked with several Fortune 100 companies to shape their CSR strategy, facilitate program implementation, run cause-related marketing campaigns and assess impact created. We also work with donor agencies, foundations and philanthropists on high-impact social programs entailing capacity building, research, events and fundraising campaigns.

The Opportunity

India is going through an inflection point in terms of Philanthropy and Corporate Social responsibility. The recently introduced Company's Act 2013 mandates all profitable companies to have a clear CSR policy and a plan to implement the same, hence it is estimated that 6,000 companies will need to invest ~ INR 20,000 crores in various CSR activities.

We see a very clear role for a firm like ours to partner the new entrants in this field and help them with not just ideas but also a very clear map of execution. In addition we are planning to launch a product (Good CSR) that integrates all the monitoring, evaluation and associated paperwork pertaining to each project, in a real-time environment.
