The Alibaba Foundation jointly with UCWeb hosted the Global Forum of the XIN Philanthropy Conference 2018 on the occasion of UN International Day of Charity in remembrance of Mother Teresa (September 5).
Launched in 2016, it is the first conference of its kind to be held out of China. The biennial conference is an important representation of Alibaba Group’s commitment to encouraging inclusive, universal and sustainable growth for businesses and communities alike.
Alibaba Group regards India as a major part of its philanthropy roadmap, while UC’s philanthropic mission in India is to bridge the Digital Divide as much as possible. In tune with this vision and under the theme of ‘Love and Infinity’, the Global Forum held in Delhi advocated for a wide public awareness and actions on Education, Children Protection and Women Empowerment.
Hosted by Indian actress and Founder of Col. Shamsher Singh Foundation Gul Panag, the Global Forum of Xin Philanthropy Conference has become a prominent gathering of renowned Indian philanthropists and public welfare advocates.
While this year's conference held in the heart of the city had popular Hindi film actress Kangana Ranaut sharing her personal experience of being a frontline advocate for women equality, a multitude of speakers within the global welfare and business domains included Robin Raina, the Chairman, CEO & President of Ebix Inc. and founder of the Robin Raina Foundation, Abha Singh, lawyer, social activist and founder of Rann-Samar Foundation, Meagan Fallone CEO, Barefoot College International among others.
The current status of women equality and education, innovative solutions with “Internet plus philanthropy” model were discussed, given the trend that internet has brought disruptive change to every aspect of our lives.
In accordance with Alibaba’s philosophy of philanthropy, technology can help to lower the barrier for each individual to participate in philanthropy and unleash “The Power of Small” to drive big change for public welfare.
“As the world’s first Internet company that integrates philanthropy into its core strategy, Alibaba’s philanthropy is without a border. That’s why we take the XIN Philanthropy Conference out of China for the first time, here in India. It shows the importance of India for Alibaba. This is also the first time our Internet plus Philanthropy Model has set its foot on the global path.”, Shunyan Zhu, President of UC, Alibaba Digital Media and Entertainment Group, stated on the occasion.
Arunima Sen, Programme Analyst for Governance, UN Women India MCO, Soha Moitra, Regional Director of Child Rights and You, Saurabh Jain, Vice President of Paytm and Head of Paytm Build for India Initiative and Alex Li, Managing Director of Alibaba Cloud India, joined Shunyan to officially kick off the 5th September Philanthropy Week during which different business units of Alibaba Group will have multiple philanthropic programs for public participation on a global scale.
A business within Alibaba Digital Media and Entertainment Group, UC has rooted in India for 7 years, amplifying Alibaba’s charitable efforts with the global breadth and Indian depth along with its business influence and brand reputation. With its new mission of Bigger We-Media, Bigger You, UC Browser, a leading content platform with 130 million monthly active users, will work with Indian content creators to build a responsible content ecosystem.
“We will use Internet technology to bridge the inequality gap, and eliminate poverty with knowledge and information,” said Mr. Shunyan Zhu.
Apart from empowering local charitable organizations, UC strives to empower the women in India. As the second most populated country, India possesses unexplored power from women. Based on the belief that the Internet is an equal platform, UC Browser established the UC Women’s channel, firstly in India, that provides knowledge in lifestyle, fashion, and career, it allows women to focus on self-growth and self-realization.
In addition to that, UC kicked off #SheDeservesToKnow campaign led by the well-known Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut.
“I pride myself on being a fearless woman who believes that women empowerment is a movement that has to take over the world. It has been a pleasure for me to be here to witness a brand like Alibaba and UC encouraging women and providing us with a platform where digital literacy and empowerment are primary focuses,” said Kangana, who is also associated with the #SheDeservesToKnow empowerment project.
In light of the positive result of UC Shiksha, UC determines to fully utilize the influence of its platform for philanthropy. In collaboration with ten charitable organizations and philanthropic advocates in India, UC Browser is about to launch the UC Hope, a charity channel for local charitable content. The channel aims to increase users’ awareness on the social issues in India and to nurture empathy by news-feeding the philanthropic content.
All in all, it was an insightful time at the XIN Philanthropy Conference 2018. :)
