January 2025 – Edition 05

The cover story by Rekha Koita and Shankar Maruwada explores how purpose-led digital transformation helps social organisations reimagine value, redesign systems, and scale impact beyond tools.

Anirban Chaudhury introduces the theme of this edition, examining how leadership intent shapes digital transformation and why inclusive strategy, learning systems, and ethical use of technology are central to sustainable social impact.

This section highlights three case studies of technological empowerment: Educate Girls on leveraging predictive analytics to reach the most vulnerable, Farmers For Forests on utilising drones and AI for precision reforestation, and the Anudip Foundation on scaling social impact through a hybrid digital-first approach.

Chetan Kapoor and Ashwin Iyer discuss what meaningful digital transformation looks like in the social sector, exploring how data, partnerships, and problem-first thinking can enable resilient, impact-driven organisations beyond tools and buzzwords.

Two insightful guest columns anchor this section: Sanjeev Prasad on how purpose-led digital transformation helps nonprofits do more with limited resources, and Deepika Mogilishetty on moving beyond compliance to embed responsible data protection as organisational culture.
