The partnership between AIF and Mastercard has already made a difference in the lives of more than 220,000 Indian students as we brought Mastercard’s flagship STEM education program to India. Now we’re expanding our commitment with a new goal of working together to bring Girls4Tech to 500,000 girls across India by 2027. It's how we turn ideas into action and plans into progress

In an effort to equalize opportunities and empower girls with confidence to follow their dreams–today I am proud to announce a 3-year association between AIF and Nykaa that will equip more girls with the resources to follow their true passion into STEM education.

The Tata Group has been supporting AIF for many years. The work AIF does in India is vital to bridging the wide gaps that exist for marginalized communities. The impact we've made together is heartening and a model for development interventions going forward.
N. Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons
Private and public sector partnerships are critical in creating economic opportunity and supporting programs to help our communities in need. For years, Bank of America has cooperated with the American India Foundation and together we were able to develop local initiatives that impact the lives of more than 1.4 million people across India
Brian Moynihan, Chairman and CEO of Bank of America
I couldn’t be prouder of IBM’s partnership with AIF to catalyze social and economic change in India. Among the most pressing challenges facing our society today is closing the STEM skills gap, which holds back both technological and socioeconomic progress….That’s why we engage with governments at the highest levels—and with committed partners like AIF— to improve access to the education and skills needed for modern, rewarding jobs.
Arvind Krishna, Chairman and CEO of IBM
Ten, fifteen, twenty years ago, the AIF has taught me a lot, along with my family, and taught this community on how to give back.
Raj Mathai, Evening News Anchor, NBC Bay Area
AIF’s mission to improve the lives of India’s underprivileged—with an emphasis on educational initiatives for women and girls, is near and dear to my heart, which is why I wholeheartedly support them not only at this gala, but all year long. I’m honored to be recognized by AIF, and am committed to continue evangelizing the foundation’s cause because every single young girl deserves a great education limitless opportunity no matter her circumstances,
