South Asia's rapid economic growth, led by India and Bangladesh, exceeds the global average. Yet, the journey towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is shadowed by disparities and uneven advancements. Tackling these challenges calls for purposeful social investment, emphasising the need to bring the fringes to the fore, ensuring that marginalised communities aren't left behind.

Leveraging the region's rich tapestry of social investment practices, India's philanthropic legacy combined with Bangladesh's microfinance strides paints a backdrop ripe for monumental shifts. The emerging impact investment ecosystems and the notable contributions from countries like Nepal and Sri Lanka in global giving further enrich this narrative. The collective regional story, primarily shaped by India and Bangladesh, crafts an evolving narrative of both challenges and achievements propelling the SDGs.
