## Profile

India's largest CSR geography by volume — dense corporate headquarters, manufacturing, and financial services presence.

## Opportunity

High funder density also means high competition. NGOs win with precise sector-geography fit, local implementation proof, and a researched shortlist — not spray outreach to every Mumbai CSR desk.

## Themes that often align

education, livelihoods, healthcare, urban inclusion, environment

## How to shortlist

1. Start from your districts
2. Filter by sector evidence
3. Check budget and timing
4. Map an entry path
5. Cap active pursuits — depth over spray outreach
