"Give Early. The Returns Are Enormous." | Swati Apte & Alok Kshirsagar | Come Aboard Ep. 3 | AIP

Swati Apte, Founding Director of The Arts Quotient, and Alok Kshirsagar, Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company, have spent their lives studying transformation — in organisations, in people, and in communities. Together, through the Kshirsagar Apte Foundation, they've seen what it truly means to change a life. In this episode of Come Aboard, they share the story that stayed with them — 20 women in Thane who went from ragpicking to owning and running their own auto rickshaws, through the support of one determined organiser and a foundation willing to invest in possibility. Their advice to those considering giving: think of it as an investment. Give early. Give generously. And go see the impact for yourself.
