Salesforce Deepens Social Impact in India Through Grants, Volunteering, and Tech Empowerment

Salesforce has reinforced its commitment to India’s social development by surpassing key milestones in its philanthropic journey. The company has provided over ₹83 crore in grants, contributed more than 664,000 employee volunteer hours, and offered technology support to hundreds of nonprofits and educational organizations across the country.
Driven by its belief in business as a platform for change, Salesforce has invested significantly in projects that bridge access gaps in education, technology, and sustainability. One of its flagship initiatives, “Futuristic Lab On Wheels,” brings next-generation technologies such as AI, robotics, and augmented reality directly to rural schools, enabling underserved students to experience hands-on learning beyond textbooks.
In partnership with several grassroots organizations, Salesforce has also helped set up digital and STEM labs that empower students with future-ready skills. Many of these programs are aimed at girls and young women, nurturing leadership and career aspirations in communities where such opportunities have traditionally been scarce. Educator training initiatives further extend this impact by equipping teachers with tools and methodologies to create more engaging and inclusive classrooms.
Beyond education, Salesforce has expanded its sustainability footprint in India. Projects range from urban reforestation to solar-powered micro-grids in tribal regions, demonstrating an approach that combines environmental stewardship with community upliftment. The company’s green skills program aspires to train one million youth in AI and sustainability practices by the end of the decade.
What sets Salesforce’s impact apart is the active participation of its employees. Through a structured volunteer time-off program, staff members contribute to a wide range of causes—from mentoring students and supporting nonprofits to participating in cleanup drives and tree-planting campaigns.
Salesforce’s long-term vision for India reflects a model where corporate growth is harmonized with community development. By embedding purpose into its operations, the company continues to drive meaningful change while supporting the country’s broader goals of digital inclusion, educational equity, and environmental resilience.
