The Giving Pledge is an effort to help address society's most pressing problems by inviting the world's wealthiest individuals and families to commit to giving more than half of their wealth to philanthropy or charitable causes either during their lifetime or in their will.

Indian billionaire and philanthropist Azim Premji, is the first Indian to join the Giving Pledge along with 12 others billionaires from different nations, according to The Chronicles of Philanthropy.
