Itellecap, with support from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, published a report, Mapping Philanthropy and Impact Investing Opportunities in India on March 5, 2016. The report assesses the philanthropic and impact investing landscape in India as the country works to continue its progress toward addressing critical development challenges. The report identifies challenges that inhibit funding by corporations, high net worth individuals, diaspora groups, and retail investors, as well as opportunities to address those challenges. Some of the recommended interventions to address constraints these groups face include: addressing information gaps, increasing collaboration among funders, and promoting and sharing measurement of impact. The ultimate objective of the report is to foster the exploration of new ways national and international funding institutions can spark increased participation in private giving and impact investing.
