Corporate social responsibility (CSR) in India

Since 2016, Citrix India has contributed approximately $800K USD to help communities in need. We have created meaningful and measurable impact in the areas of education, healthcare, environment and sustainability, disability programs, child care, women in tech, tech incubators and support for Olympic athletes across marginalized states of the country.

It is wonderful to collaborate with such a sensitive and understanding funder like Citrix. The volunteers transformed the drab looking government school with the simple act of paint and hard work.
