Sagar Menon
Founder & CEO
The inception of Giverly was triggered by the seismic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. The founders, who had been deeply ingrained in the startup ecosystem, recognized that the e-commerce sector was flourishing even amidst the pandemic. Simultaneously, they observed the struggles of charities and NGOs worldwide to secure funds for their operations. This observation led to a powerful idea: leveraging the e-commerce boom to channel funds toward charitable causes.
At the heart of Giverly's ethos is the core value of harnessing everyday commerce to give back to society, uniting consumers, brands, and charitable organizations in a collective effort. The company envisions a world where each transaction contributes to solving various social challenges.
Giverly offers personalized cards to progressive companies seeking to instill a culture of giving within their organizations. Through these cards, employees earn points for their everyday spending, which can be donated to live social campaigns via the Giverly app. This process empowers employees to make meaningful contributions without any additional personal expenditure. Moreover, Giverly ensures 100 percent transparency by providing real-time photographic, video graphics, and GPS-based updates on donations.
With over 800 partner brands across the fashion, lifestyle, travel, and dining sectors, Giverly cardholders enjoy exclusive discounts and offers while making socially conscious contributions. Unlike traditional fundraising, Giverly provides brands with a platform to extend better discounts, recognizing the potential for positive social impact. Notable brands such as Ritu Kumar, Chaayos, and Ixigo have embraced Giverly's model by offering unique deals to cardholders.
