Dhruv Khaitan

A serial entrepreneur, Mr. Dhruv Khaitan has helped conceptualise, create and scale high-technology ventures in India and has strategically mentored these companies through their inception, growth, and eventual divestment. Over the last year, he began to consider how his expertise can help create catalytic growth for organisations in the nonprofit sector. Already funding mid-sized organisations to help them scale, he now believes that the effect of every rupee he contributes can be multiplied by directly engaging with nonprofits and providing them with strategic direction and guidance. With this goal in mind, Mr. Khaitan is building a Strategic Support Group (SSG), which brings together professionals, experts, business people, and donors who are interested in giving their time to build the capacities of the nonprofits they support. These individuals will use their skills to bring new capabilities to organisations in areas such as strategy, technology, marketing, financial planning, process excellence, scaling, unit economics, innovation, and government relations. The SSG also facilitates synergistic partnerships between nonprofits that have complementary strengths. Bringing partners together will provide access to and encourage them to share best practices, skills, knowledge, and experiences. Over the next few years, Mr. Khaitan aims to build a sector-agnostic portfolio of 5 to 6 organisations that the SSG can support in a meaningful way.
