Meet our trustees and team

The Godrej Foundation is fortunate to have a formidable group of industry leaders at its helm. We’re happy to introduce our board of trustees - Hiten Kotak, Neera Nundy and Vivek Gambhir.

Hiten is the executive director of Khaitan & Co, specialising in transaction tax, corporate restructuring, and private client practice.

Neera is the co-founder and partner of Dasra, a leading non-profit systems orchestrator that drives collaborative action for social change in India.

Vivek is a seasoned executive with over thirty years of leadership experience across Indian industry. He is the co-author of Headstart: Unlock The Secrets To Career Success.

"Joining the Godrej Foundation as a Trustee is an immense privilege," says Neera. "I’ve long admired its deep-rooted commitment to nation-building – through education, health, environment, and poverty alleviation, among other thematic areas. As India stands at the cusp of transformational change, philanthropy has a critical role to play in advancing inclusive and sustainable development. I’m excited to contribute to the Foundation’s vision of uplifting communities with greater intentionality and scale, and to champion the work of institutions reimagining what it means to serve communities with dignity, purpose, and trust."

"I am honoured to serve the Godrej Foundation’s enduring commitment to create meaningful impact," Vivek says. "The Godrej Group has always stood for trust, innovation, and purpose – with goodness as one of its key pillars. That same ethos inspires the Foundation’s work as it seeks to be a catalyst for change across some of the most critical areas of development. Through a thoughtful portfolio approach, we support efforts to improve education and healthcare, enhance standards of living, and build strong institutions that drive long-term, inclusive economic growth. We are also committed to empowering community organisations, recognising that real and lasting progress is rooted in collaboration. With compassion, clarity of purpose, and a deep belief in equity, we hope to champion a future where doing good and doing well go hand in hand."
