Check out the details to learn about the two Indian millionaires who are members of King Charles’ charitable advisory group

Nikhil Kamath and Neerja Birla, two successful Indian businessmen, have been named to the British Asian Trust’s India Advisory Council. The British Asian Trust is a charitable organization that King Charles III founded while he was the Prince of Wales. King Charles III launched the British Asian Trust in 2007 and says it has improved millions of lives in South Asia.

“Part of my philanthropic approach is to partner with social organizations that are innovative and pioneering,” Kamath said.

It is with great honor that I join the esteemed group of corporate executives and philanthropists who make up the India Advisory Council of the British Asian Trust. We want to work together to creatively and broadly solve difficult social issues throughout the nation,” he said.

Co-founder of Zerodha Nikhil Kamath is the youngest Indian to have signed “The Giving Pledge,” which commits him and Warren Buffet to giving away at least half of their fortune to charity.

The Aditya Birla Education Trust’s founder and chairman, Neerja Birla, emphasized the difficulties in providing mental health care in India while applauding the British Asian Trust’s international initiatives. “The British Asian Trust is doing excellent work in this space globally,” she said. I’m delighted to broaden our work in mental health across India by joining the British Asian Trust’s India Advisory Council.

Along with well-known individuals like Mukesh Ambani, the chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries and the head of the trust’s India Advisory Council, Kamath and Birla also join the council.

Bharath Visweswariah, the trust’s executive director in India, highlighted Dr. Birla’s extraordinary journey in mental health and education and Kamath’s enthusiasm for livelihoods and conservation as reasons for hope over the influence of the two men.
