In the next 10 years, India has a crucial role to play,” Varghese said. “Impact funding and commitment to strong outcomes are the bold steps we need in public, private, and social partnerships. I’m excited to bring Pyxera Global into an ambitious decade of improved conditions and equitable economic development in India.”
Pyxera Global India has made significant progress over the years in supporting communities to meet their needs and is especially excited about a new strategic partnership with the National Cooperative Union of India (NCUI), the largest cooperative union in the country.
