Giving Tuesday India collaborates with commerce platforms to create opportunities for their consumers, employees and associates to experience ‘the joy of giving’ to trusted causes. Anchored by GuideStar India, an a NGO information repository, this campaign promotes the celebration of #GivingTuesdayIndia on the Tuesday of #DaanUtsav, India’s biggest annual festival of giving from Oct 2-8. The idea of this campaign is to cultivate the habit of giving as a celebration of generosity as opposed to consumerism and self interest.
