About The Convergence Foundation
The Convergence Foundation (TCF) is an Indian philanthropic organisation founded by Ashish and Manisha Dhawan. TCF aims to improve the lives of all Indians through rapid, sustained and inclusive economic growth. We believe that rapid, sustained, and inclusive economic growth is the central fulcrum to accelerate all-round development of a society and nation; it is the tide that can lift all boats.
Overview of the Role
This role sits within TCF's Philanthropic Partnerships team and leads TCF's work with India's Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNIs) — one of three segments the team covers, alongside foundations and CSR. The role will anchor and lead Economic Growth Collaborative (EGC), a first-of-its-kind platform for engaging philanthropy on India's growth story.
Job Description
- Build, deepen, and orchestrate relationships with UHNIs who care about India's growth story — working through and alongside TCF's existing relationships, and building new ones where needed.
- Grow the philanthropic capital UHNIs commit to India's growth — turning trust and engagement into meaningful giving, working closely with TCF's leadership on significant commitments.
- Curate TCF's research, portfolio work, and ecosystem knowledge into content that keeps UHNI members informed and engaged.
- Design and lead conversations and convenings that bring the right UHNIs together around the right themes — creating genuine, high-trust engagement, not just events.
- Spot and make warm introductions between UHNIs and TCF portfolio organisations where interests, networks, or capital align.
- Work closely with the rest of the Philanthropic Partnerships team (global foundations and CSR) as one team.
Help shape the medium-term roadmap for EGC and TCF's broader UHNI engagement, working with the Founder, CEO, and COO.
Required & Preferred Qualifications
Skill
- Intellectual curiosity — a genuine interest in ideas and how India's economy works, with the ability to engage substantively on growth, policy, and markets even without specialist depth.
- Builds relationships through content and credibility, not just access or introductions.
- Comfortable operating independently — able to open a relationship and carry a conversation without a senior person in the room.
- Enjoys people and relationship-building for its own sake — this matters as much as subject-matter knowledge.
- Highly organised, with strong attention to detail in managing contacts, outreach, and follow-ups.
- Comfortable working alongside founders and senior colleagues without needing permission at every step.
- Strong communicator, able to make complex ideas accessible without oversimplifying them.
Experience
20+ years of experience across wealth management, development finance, professional services, think tanks or policy work, with familiarity in India's economic growth agenda — economic policy, exports, investment climate, urban growth, or innovation.
