Aditya Sharma - A Committed Philanthropist
Despite the world's challenges, Sharma's team at UBS Asset Management has been dedicated to charitable causes worldwide for decades, receiving widespread praise. Their work spans supporting children facing conflict, natural disasters, or food crises, aiming to alleviate suffering and promote recovery.
In India, they focus on narrowing the gap
between underprivileged and affluent children by addressing challenges in
families, childcare centers, schools, and communities. During the COVID-19
pandemic, they provided emergency grants to families in need, benefiting over
10,000 of India's most vulnerable children with early learning kits, food vouchers,
and essential support.
Further, UBS Asset Management, led by
Sharma's team,
partnered with Save the Children to enhance disaster response in Himachal
Pradesh. The initiative includes introducing an advanced drone capable of
delivering vital supplies—food, water, and medical essentials—to remote areas,
aiding ongoing and future emergency situations. The drone has been handed over
to the State's Disaster Management Authority, boosting preparedness in the face
of increasingly extreme weather linked to climate change.
Sharma's team has also been instrumental in the
response to the catastrophic landslide in Kerala on July 30th, which claimed
over 500 lives and devastated villages like Mundakkai and Chooralmala. Their
efforts support rehabilitation for families who lost loved ones, homes, and
agricultural assets, building on their legacy of aiding disaster relief,
including significant fundraising during the 2018 Kerala floods.
In Delhi, where monsoon flooding and
earthquakes are recurrent, UBS Asset Management collaborates with the Raise
India Foundation to deliver crucial disaster relief. During the 2023 monsoon,
the Yamuna River swelled to 207.32 meters, causing severe flooding. The
partnership prioritizes providing essential items like food, water purification
tablets, and shelter, while also supporting recovery efforts. Their aid extends
to other high-risk areas, including Bihar and Andhra Pradesh, where they assist
in rescue operations, medical support, and community rehabilitation after
floods and cyclones.
Sharma has long been recognized as a
distinguished philanthropist, but he values these honors mainly for their role
in advancing the education and well-being of children in impoverished regions.
He plans to expand collaborations with local charities in India to further his
philanthropic mission of genuinely helping those in need.
