Corporate Social Responsibility
Creating a Positive Impact
Backed by a strong legacy of community impact, Bajaj Finserv, through Bajaj Beyond, is dedicated to shaping a better future for the youth of today and tomorrow. Our initiatives are focused on skilling, child education, child health, child protection, and inclusion for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs). We work closely with grassroot organisations, partners, schools, institutions, and hospitals to drive meaningful change in society. In FY2025, we implemented 213 projects with a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spend of 289.80 crore.
Skilling for Income Generation to Empower the Youth of Today and Tomorrow
Bajaj Finserv is committed to bridging the skills gap through skilling and employability programmes, self-employment initiatives, and entrepreneurial support, with a focus on youth and women from disadvantaged backgrounds. 'Skillserv', our flagship skilling initiatives aims to bridge the employability gap in the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance sectors (BFSI) by offering comprehensive, industryrelevant training.
Certificate Program in Banking, Finance and Insurance (CPBFI)
CPBFI is our self-implemented skilling initiative that offers a 120-hour module designed to equip youth with the knowledge and skills needed by industry. Remarkably, 68% of CPBFI participants are firstgeneration graduates, primarily young aspirants from tier 2 and 3 cities, with women making up nearly 61%. Since inception, CPBFI has trained over 100,000 students, including 46,807 in FY2025 alone, reaching 161 districts across 23 states in India.
Bajaj Finserv’s Project Odiserv, in collaboration with the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship to roll out CPBFI across 60 colleges in 11 cities and 10 districts of Odisha, has been recognised as an awarding body by NCVET, a prestigious endorsement that places CPBFI among a select group of high-quality, industry-driven skill development offerings.
Skillserv is now piloting a new skilling module in niche BFSI segments such as insurance, gold loans, and microfinance, and is actively developing a growing library of digital programmes. Over time, Skillserv aims to create a robust skilling ecosystem - one that leverages Bajaj Finserv's sectoral expertise to unlock economic and social opportunities for underserved youth across the country.
We have partnered with multiple non-profits to deliver a diverse range of training and skilling programmes, ensuring broader access to skill development and employment opportunities.

Measuring the Impact of Our Actions
Bajaj Finserv is committed to making a positive impact on society through various CSR initiatives.
Our CSR projects span education, healthcare, livelihoods, skilling and inclusion of People with Disabilities (PwDs). We believe it is essential to assess the outcomes and effectiveness of these initiatives to ensure they align with our objectives and contribute meaningfully to the well-being of the communities we serve.
In FY2025, we conducted the assessment study of 14 CSR projects. The assessment exercise not only helped us understand the impact of our work on ground but also highlighted the challenges associated with it, feeding into our decision-making process and motivating us to continue our engagement through thoughtful learning and reflection.

Alongside our continued focus on the development of child and youth beneficiaries, the Company is committed to deepening its impact in Pune city through multi-pronged interventions, partner capacity building, and the implementation of more strategic, outcome-driven projects.
