In its inaugural 2025 edition, TIME magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in Philanthropy” list celebrates individuals worldwide who have made significant contributions to charitable causes. One of the notable awardees is acclaimed journalist and author Anand Giridharadas, a prominent figure in the Indian-American community.
Giridharadas, known for his incisive commentary on politics and society, has been acknowledged for his efforts in promoting social equity and justice. His work, which often challenges prevailing power structures, has inspired many to engage in meaningful philanthropic endeavors.
The TIME100 Philanthropy list aims to spotlight those who are not only donating resources but also driving systemic change through innovative approaches. Giridharadas’s inclusion underscores the growing influence of Indian Americans in global philanthropic circles.
This recognition serves as a testament to the impactful work being carried out by members of the Indian diaspora, who are increasingly playing pivotal roles in addressing global challenges through philanthropy and advocacy.
