Celebrating 6 years of Excellence
Over the past six years Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt. Ltd. (Fiinovation) has
emerged as multidisciplinary research consultancy that operates in the domain of
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainability. It has grown from the time
when people used to consider CSR & Sustainability to be the auxiliary components of
functionality to the times now when both of these verticals are the stage setter for
Corporations & Society at large. Today, it is considered by its partners as a resource
for all solutions related to CSR and Sustainability.
It works with a motive to promote and create awareness, inspire innovative thinking
and action that leads to sustainable development to business houses and the
communities, which are interlinked. Fiinovation has been conferred with Best
Innovation: Product or Service Award at the Social Innovation Awards 2014 at the
World CSR Day Mumbai, India & The Socrates Award for the Best Enterprise in the
eld of health, education, environment and livelihood with a focus on CSR &
Sustainability at the Leaders Summit in Oxford, U.K. 2014.

Donation camp in association with Lions Blood Bank. The event drew 143
participants from various offices in Okhla and 83 donations were done making it a

This journey won't have been possible without the great
substantial support that each member of this organization
has provided both organically & otherwise.

its internal aairs. Policies can be put in place to
pay for climate resilience.

insnct of Desh Bhak in every job
