By helping corporates identify best-fit execution partners, whose social agenda aligns with the ethos of the organization, Impactify makes compliance to CSR norms much easier," said Sharma.

    The startup uses artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics to match companies with NGOs, and has monitoring and reporting tools that help NGOs map progress and outcomes, while defining key performance indicators, budgeting, planning and executing projects.The company aims to have 5,000-10,000 NGOs on its matching platform by 2020. Impactify is also working closely with corporates to have projects with a cumulative value over 250 crore tracked through their monitoring platform.
