Dasra is a strategic philanthropic organization based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, founded in 1999 to transform India so that a billion people can thrive with dignity and equity. It accelerates social change by convening a trust-based network of stakeholders, including corporates, foundations, families, nonprofits, social businesses, government, and media, to drive collaborative action. Its focus areas include adolescents, urban sanitation, and governance, and it has built social capital by leading a strategic philanthropy movement in the country. As a mid-sized nonprofit, it operates within India's philanthropy and social impact sector to catalyze cross-sector collaboration. In May 2026, Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies partnered with Dasra Adolescents Collaborative to open registrations for the Samvardhan Biodiversity & Conservation Fellowship, a 12-month programme supporting early-career conservation leaders from underrepresented backgrounds across India.
