CEO’s DESKFrom The
Fiinova�on started its journey in 2007, with a team of four members aiming to provide quality and effec�ve services in the
CSR and Sustainability domain that could change the socio-economics of the country. Mo�vated by the objec�ves and
devoted for a cause, the growth story of our organiza�on came through dedica�on and hard work that has been recognized
and appreciated in the social development sector. We have been able to create the linkages essen�al for result-oriented
partnerships through in-depth research at groundwork. With years of work and a team of experts, we proudly developed
the Asia's First Proposal Research & Design Laboratory wherein research focuses primarily on four sectors: Health,
Educa�on, Livelihood and Environment.
We have been also assis�ng corpora�ons on framing their CSR policies and programme implementa�on to achieve their
objec�ves with stakeholders in their respec�ve work arena. We have been successful in bridging the gap between
businesses and communi�es.
I feel overwhelmed by not only the recogni�ons and awards that Fiinova�on has gained interna�onally and na�onally, but
more so because of the lives that we have been able to touch by our work. The credit of these achievements goes to every
member of the Fiinova�on family, who gives nothing less than 100 percent to the task in hand and treats every challenge as
a new opportunity to shine. As Fiinova�on celebrates its 7th Founda�on Day, with great pride and pleasure, I want to
congratulate each member of our organiza�on. I dedicate this day to all the stakeholders who have contributed in every
possible way for the very success that we are able to nurture with our family on this given day.
Although, seven years have passed but each day starts afresh and mo�vates/inspires us to broaden our opera�onal
horizons and create new milestones of our success. Fiinova�on takes pride in working with CSO's and other organisa�ons
for making an impact on the lives of those who need help for a�aining a be�er standard of living. The path of development
of all is not easy but as they say, “even the longest journey begins with a single step.” Fiinova�on also believes that small
efforts lead to great achievements. From the past seven years, our team of experts have been con�nuously working in the
sectors of health, educa�on, livelihood and environment, and have performed marvellously. The journey has been
tremendously sa�sfying knowing that we have been able to make a difference in these social sectors. As we grow, we look
towards addressing more challenges and overcoming them with flying colours.

OPPORTUNITY
7 YEARS OF EXCELLENCEFIINOVATIONCelebrates
September 30, 2015, New Delhi: On the occasion of its 7th Founda�on Day, Fiinova�on in associa�on with Lions Blood Bank
successfully organised the annual blood dona�on camp on 29th September, 2015 in Okhla , New Delhi. Third campaign of
the Blood dona�on series comes close on the heels of the current dengue outbreak that has gripped the na�onal capital
and meets the demand of the shortage observed. With the theme "Donate blood for a reason, let the reason be life," the
mo�ve of Fiinova�on was to address the acute and rising concern of dengue in its own way.
On the ini�a�ve, Mr. Soumitro Chakraborty - Founder & CEO, Fiinova�on, said, "Elimina�ng blood shortage is the need of
the hour. Even though we organise this campaign every year on our Founda�on Day, this year it is although more required,
looking at the number of dengue cases reported so far. The company stands on the strong founda�on of facilita�ng services
to those who need it and this drive on our annual day is symbolic to our beliefs. It is the perfect tribute to the seven years of
the journey we have undertaken and are pleased that this small ini�a�ve will help save lives."
An overwhelming response to this noble ini�a�ve was observed, as people came forward volunteering to be a part of this
noble endeavour. More than 150 people par�cipated in the ini�a�ve, mainly from organiza�ons across Okhla, such as My
Dala, Madison, Leo Burne�, Gla� India, Nathealth, Snapdeal, Sonata Informa�on Technology and Wygen Systems among
others. Mr. Chakraborty, ini�ated the drive, followed by other volunteers. About 150 units of blood donated in one single
day, highligh�ng the success of the campaign.
Since 2013, Fiinova�on is organising Blood Dona�on campaign on its Founda�on Day. It was certainly a proud moment for
the blood donors to associate for such a noble cause which can transform lives and bring a change in the community.
TOO MANY OF THEM
India is a young country that needs to build a founda�on, which is strong and healthy. Access, infrastructure, affordability
and technology will be required to shape the road ahead for the healthcare sector in India. Healthcare has been one of the
core sectors of economic development for many countries across the world. Healthcare increases efficiency and
produc�vity of any economic market. With India set to seek economic expansion and popula�on surge, this sector is likely
to be one of the largest and fastest growing ones.
It is also a value creator as it facilitates job opportuni�es for millions across the globe. Investments in this sector will open
scope for addressing the challenges that it is facing today. Due to unavailability of affordable and right health care systems,
many people are dying. India's health care systems ranking is 112th, out of 190 countries as per the WHO reports, which is
alarming keeping in sight the development interven�ons in India. There is a lot of scope for improvement, which can help
save millions of lives, including those, which are lost during epidemic outbreaks.
Despite millions of dollars spent, India is not able to tackle the rising deaths due to dengue, swine flu, cholera, chikungunya,
malaria and other diseases. The recent dengue outbreak in the capital of the country has claimed 40 lives unofficially, with
more than 9300 cases registered un�l Oct 5th. India faces the challenge of dengue almost every year. In 2010, over 6,200
cases, only eight deaths were officially reported. Un�l October 3rd, 2014, cases registered were 120, while in 2013 it was
2,557. In 2012, nearly 100 dengue cases, while 2011 saw 283 dengue cases in the same period. Other outbreaks such as
Jaundice in Odisha and Gujarat, and Swine Flu in Gujarat and Rajasthan have also claimed thousands of lives.
The major concern is the lack of healthcare funding from government, global groups and other sources, which is inhibi�ng
long-term behavioural changes, among both people and the health care sector whereby increasing the chances of repeated
outbreaks of epidemics. In this crucial stage, there is a window of opportunity for corpora�ons under their CSR strategy to
collaborate with organiza�ons and individuals in building a healthier India. As per NRHM Mission Director Anuradha Gupta,
private players must come out of their comfort zone and reach out to remote areas with healthcare programmes through
effec�ve public-private partnerships (PPP). India carries 20% of the world's disease burden, as per WHO, and it will require
support by the corpora�ons in healthcare programmes. This would require making healthcare accessible, at affordable
price, available in the far corners of the country, incorpora�ng all the technological advancements and establishing
adequate infrastructure. Partnerships with civil society, training skilled manpower and providing funds for health
programmes will surely help improve the ground situa�on. Though CSR funds will not be enough to build the infrastructure
required, the CSR funding can be u�lised towards research, awareness and building technologically advanced medical
devices to deliver healthcare in a portable, convenient and cost-effec�ve way. Therefore, the bo�om line is, if a corpora�on
considers healthcare as their CSR strategy and builds a systema�c approach to any issue, it will do a lot for the country,
people and resources in the future.

DISSECTION OF THE HEALTHSECTOR IN INDIAThe Indian healthcare sector is to reach $280 billion by 2020 with a compound annual growth rate of 22.9 percent. The major contributors to this growth is the rise in income levels, greater health awareness, increased precedence of lifestyle diseases and epidemics and improved access to insurance. Healthcare is one of the largest sectors in India both in terms of revenue and employment, with its competitive advantage lying in its vast pool of well-trained medical professionals. There are around 6.6 lakh doctors in India and it requires about 4 lakh more by 2020 to meet the desired target of one doctor per 1000 people.

Ÿ The Indian medical tourism industry is pegged at US$ 3 billion per annum, with tourist arrivals estimated at 230,000
Ÿ The average investment size by private equity funds in healthcare chains has already increased to US$ 20-30 million

Guidelines to Article 8 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control state that there is “no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke.” Creating 100% smoke-free environments is the only way to protect people from the harmful effects of second-hand tobacco smoke.
Health ministry claims that there are about 6-6.5 lakh doctors available. However, India would need about four lakh more by 2020 to maintain the required ratio of one doctor per 1,000 people.
WHO estimates that, in India, water-borne diseases affect about 38 million people every year, out of which over 75% are children; 780,000 deaths are attributable to contaminated water and more than 400,000 because of diarrhea alone.
In India, even today, one person dies every two minutes due to TB. It is the second biggest killer after HIV/AIDS worldwide.
According to WHO, mortality rate due to cardiovascular diseases has decreased by 60% in Japan and Finland, 50% in the US, and 25% in Canada and Australia, but by 2015, mortality rate due to cardiac ailments will increase by 100 per cent in India.
According to current estimates, India will soon have the highest number of cases of cardiovascular disease in the world and estimated to account for 35.9% deaths by the year 2030.

Hand Washing Day
15�� October
The United Nations General Assembly
obser ved 2008 as the year o f
sanitation and declared 15th October
as the “Global Hand Washing Day” to
be celebrated every year. In India
3,3400 children die under the age of
five due to the same diarrheal disease,
which could have been prevented if
g o o d h yg i e n e s t a n d a rd s w e re
maintained. Hand hygiene plays a vital
role in ensuring a good health, nearly
80 percent of the communicable
diseases spread by touch and if hand
hygiene is practiced properly one can
e a s i l y a v o i d l a r g e n u m b e r o f
infections. Touch is not only limited to
coming in contact with another
person, objects but also performing
various activities, like eating without
proper clean hands, touching eyes,
nose and other body parts, that maybe
vulnerable if proper hygiene care are
not taken with care.
As they say prevention is better than
cure, it is important for the people to
understand and embed good hygiene
practices in daily life. The kids should
be told the importance of washing
their hands and the habit of good
hygiene should be developed in them
from a very early age.
International Day for
Disaster Reduction
13�� October
Every year the world is struck by a
natural disaster that claims thousands
of lives and leaves millions homeless.
Despite, all the efforts, scientific
knowledge, preparedness and risk
reduction measures, the world has not
been able to save lives and rehabilitate
people. The devastation due to the
natural disasters such as droughts,
floods, earthquakes, anthropogenic
activit ies add to other adverse
miseries which result in a catastrophe.
Natural disasters, majority of which
are exacerbated by climate change,
have a negative impact on investment
in sustainable development and the
desired outcomes.
The International Day for Disaster
Reduction has been observed every
year on 22nd December since 1989
after UNGA passed a resolution to
promote g lobal awareness for
preventive measures for disasters
i n c l u d i n g m i t i g a t i o n a n d
preparedness. In 2009, the UNGA
passed a resolution and designated
13th October every year to be asserted
as International Day for Disaster
Reduction. This year the theme for the
day is “Knowledge for Life – Focussing
on the use of traditional, indigenous
and local knowledge.”
The International Day of
Girl Child
11�� October
From female foeticide, ignoring the girl
child, to motivating them to fulfil their
dreams, today, the Indian society,
through conscious efforts of the
government, private organizations and
more informed parents, has been
working towards transforming the
orthodox mindsets. This includes
entailing them with best of health care,
education, food, etc as is enjoyed by
their opposite gender. However, on
analyzing the DISE data 2014-15,
Fiinovation reviewed that as a girl child
advances in her life, a few of them also
drop out from school due to increased
responsibil it ies. Deliberate and
conscious effort towards fulfilling the
dreams of a girl child shall help and
take us a step closer to attaining the
sustainable development goals.
The United Nations General Assembly
on December 19, 2011 declared
October 11, as the International Day
for the Girl Child, with an aim to
recognize the girls’ rights and the
challenges faced by them across the
globe. The introduction of SDGs this
year by the global community is a
suitable time to acknowledge and
recognize the achievements of the
young girls in India. Their achievement
is undeniable to obtain the mentioned
