Across Asia, the conversation around impact has shifted.... from talk to action.
In an engaging conversation with Oriel Morrison, AVPN CEO Naina Subberwal Batra shares how more than 1,500 leaders have gathered at the AVPN conference, all recognising that driving impact means taking ownership of their own destiny.
The discussions have been deep, contextual, and inclusive, bringing new players into the ecosystem and highlighting a distinctly Asian model of corporate giving. Across the region, there’s now a much stronger bias for action, and a move away from conversation toward collaboration.
What’s emerging is a collective mindset built on humility and partnership, where no one is trying to solve challenges alone. Instead, the focus is on working together to create a better future for the next generation, guided by values-driven philanthropy, not tax incentives.
Asia, Naina says, is stepping confidently into its role as the centre of a new impact movement, one defined by purpose, partnership, and progress.
