AU Small Finance Bank presents ‘Badlaav Humse Hai-Season 2

In a commendable effort to honour those driving positive change in society, AU Small Finance Bank and Network18 have launched the second season of ‘Badlaav Humse Hai’, an initiative dedicated to showcasing the remarkable humanitarian efforts of India's lesser-known changemakers who are an inspiration to countless individuals.

Introduced by AU Small Finance Bank (AU SFB) in 2021, the 2^nd season of ‘Badlaav Humse Hai', aims to recognize and applaud the endeavours of these unnoticed heroes who have significantly impacted the lives of communities across various regions in India. Noted actor and former Miss India, Gul Panag will be the celebrity champion for change for this initiative and the voice of the campaign.

In a developing nation like India, where numerous areas, such as employment, education, and healthcare, require ongoing improvements, many changemakers have assumed crucial roles in driving these changes. These unsung heroes have been instrumental in catalysing transformative and inspirational shifts. With unwavering determination and a relentless pursuit of positive change for the greater good, these changemakers exemplify social responsibility through their actions and turn their ideas into reality. Given the rapid pace of societal evolution today, there is an increasing need for more individuals who challenge conventional norms and devise solutions to address social and environmental challenges. 

Network18 and AU Small Finance Bank have dedicated several decades to their respective fields in pursuit of societal improvement. AU SFB holds the distinction of being India's largest Small Finance Bank. For 28 years, the financial institution has been empowering numerous changemakers and bolstering their endeavours through financial inclusion and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives in semi-urban and rural regions of India. Similarly, Network18 has taken the lead in driving purpose-driven campaigns aimed at fostering social change and amplifying positive efforts in domains like healthcare, sanitation, education, and the well-being of women and children.
