"We made a rule at MissMalini very early on that we will only blog what we can say to your face." – @maliniagarwal, Founder & Ex-Creative Director @MissMalini and Co-Founder, Idea Factory.

True to that spirit, Malini hired her first 7–8 team members from @X, people who were used to expressing themselves in under 280 characters. They understood the power of clarity and authenticity, because she was always sure about what MissMalini stood for.

That simple rule set the tone for everything that followed.

Instinct was her starting point, influence her outcome. Episode out now:

From the eyes, straight to the heart – What does a smile hold?

In this episode of Give It A Go, we delve into the value of kindness with our guests, Rashesh and Vidya Shah. Deliberating on what constitutes real wealth, they look at smiles, not just as an expression, but as a currency that multiples its effect on its own. Sometimes, the more you give, the more you get.

What truly determines the impact of giving?

Exploring this thought, our guests, Rashesh and Vidya Shah, tell us about the concept of asymmetric payoff in this episode. What seems like a small amount, something that’s easily affordable, might have more impact than we realise, bringing out the true magic of mindful giving.

Achievement is not something you can buy with money.

Reflecting upon wealth and indulgence, our guests, Rashesh and Vidya Shah come together to discuss what giving really means and answer the pressing question: Is achievement something that brings you inner joy or is it a never-ending game of material pursuits?

A future where systemic support is the norm, and efforts become a legacy. That’s the outlook that reveals itself in this conversation with our guests, Rashesh and Vidya Shah. Discussing their philanthropic journey, from entrepreneurship to the family values that shape their decisions, they share a fresh perspective on acting with intent and empathy.

“It feels incomplete if you only put individual effort and not make an attempt to institutionalise it, because it should carry beyond you,” says Rashesh Shah when talking about transforming actions into strong foundations.

Reflecting on what truly matters, what defines a legacy, and the joy of giving, this episode brings out valuable insights and a pragmatic understanding of today’s philanthropic landscape, putting values at its centre.

This is the story of Shilpa Pandit, who didn’t just overcome domestic violence but also led the way for other women in her community to combat such oppression. Joining CORO’s Ekal Mahila Sangathan, she received guidance from other members, finding strength in the SHG meetings. Such initiatives are reflective of EdelGive’s belief – Human Rights and Women’s Rights aren’t different from the other.

Our vision, informed by the ideals of Right to Access, Income enablement and Grassroots Leadership, aims to establish an environment where gender is no bar for equal opportunities, because identity is meant to liberate, not restrict.

What happens when the very soil that feeds our communities begins to lose its strength? In India, decades of intensive farming, unpredictable monsoons, and soil erosion have left many fields depleted, posing a threat to both crops and livelihoods. Across regions, farmers are turning to traditional solutions—reviving indigenous seeds, planting diverse crops, and using soil-conserving techniques—to restore fertility and resilience. EdelGive is committed to supporting these practices with our NGO partners like AFPRO, Manuvikasa and Sambandh, employing indigenous methods and raising awareness about how caring for the soil today ensures sustainable food, water, and livelihoods for the future.
