Impact now was started in 2002 when a group of friends came together with the intention of giving back to the society. They were inspired by the thought and philosophy of Peter Senge, the founder of the Society for Organizational Learning who has propagated that “sustainability, social equality and the environment are now business problems…” and corporate leaders can’t expect governments to solve them alone.
What triggered these thoughts was the liberalisation of the economy in the 1990’s which brought with it immense opportunities. Business revived, and became not just a market, but also an investment prospect for the developed world. Disposable incomes and early settlements became a living reality for the working middle-class. For the first time, professionals could think beyond making a living, and contribute towards the society.
Impact now empowers underprivileged children, youth and women through relevant education, innovative healthcare and market-focused livelihood programmes.
Impact now deploys the best methodology and technology for achieving ideal SROI (social return on investment), to practice and promote good governance. To link business competitiveness of the corporate with social development initiatives; also to sensitize privileged children, youth and citizens in general to promote Civic Driven Change.
