CSR in India

Corporate Social Responsibility is a deeply held value across Tower’s India offices. That commitment is especially visible in our longstanding focus on education, equity, and opportunity. From cutting-edge university research labs to rural school revitalization, our initiatives reflect a commitment to giving back in meaningful, lasting ways.

We work closely with academic institutions, nonprofit partners, and local communities to expand access to technology, improve learning environments, and support underserved youth. Whether it’s women-in-tech coding bootcamps, solar-powered facilities, or mental health AI tools, every effort speaks to our belief in inclusive progress.

A MAJOR IMPACT:

Team Effort

When it comes to philanthropy, employee engagement is our secret weapon. We support causes that matter to our people and their communities, helping us make the biggest total impact.

“We’re proud to support Project Sunshine and the incredible work they do to bring joy and comfort to children facing medical challenges. From assembling activity kits to sponsoring their annual gala, our team is honored to contribute in any way we can. Beyond being a cause we care deeply about, Project Sunshine resonates with us on a cultural level – it’s a reminder that no matter what challenges you’re facing, small acts of kindness and empathy can make an impact. That spirit of humanity is central to how we operate every day.”

“New York City has given a great deal to Tower Research Capital – it’s where our company was founded and where many of us have built successful careers. Yet not everyone in our city has had access to the same opportunities – many New Yorkers live in poverty. That’s why we support Robin Hood, an organization that turns generosity into real impact by funding some of the most effective poverty-fighting efforts in the city. We’re proud to help make a difference in the place we call home.”

David F.

“Being affiliated with Futures and Options is an incredible opportunity to empower New York City’s underserved youth through career development and mentorship. As part of our partnership, we host career exploration events at our office, offering students exposure to careers in quantitative finance and technology. Collaborating with Futures and Options aligns with Tower’s ongoing commitment to providing equal access to opportunity for the next generation of talent.”

“It’s shocking to realize that in a city as wealthy as New York, 1.5 million people regularly need food assistance. That’s why Tower supports Food Bank For NYC – an organization that has spent the last 40 years working tirelessly to carry out its mission to ‘empower every New Yorker to achieve food security for good.’”

“At Tower, participating in Wall Street Rides FAR is more than just a ride. This event brings us together – outside the office – to contribute to something deeply meaningful. Autism affects millions of individuals and families in unique ways, and I ride to support the critical research that helps unlock better understanding, support, and opportunities. I’m proud to help raise awareness and funds that go toward building a more inclusive world for people with autism.”

“Tower plays a meaningful role in advancing Cycle for Survival’s mission to beat rare cancers. We are so proud to have Tower as a committed supporter, with such involved and enthusiastic team members that join us at our events each year, making the rides a dynamic and impactful employee engagement opportunity. Tower’s support and participation are vital, helping to fund lifesaving research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, driving progress and bringing hope to rare cancer patients and their families around the world.”

Allie Bernardo, Manager, Corporate Partnerships & Employee Engagement, Cycle for Survival

“As India’s premier computer science institute, IIT Bombay is very well positioned to demonstrate the potential of AI in solving some of India’s pressing challenges. Tower Research is very excited to partner with IIT Bombay to leverage AI advancements to provide scalable, hands-on Computer Science education to students across India. Together, we aim to elevate students’ employability and contribute to the advancement of AI solutions in addressing societal needs.”

Saurav J.

“CSR is how we give back to the ecosystem that shaped us. Because many of our technologists are IIT alumni, we contribute to these premier institutes, fueling socially focused AI research that can transform healthcare, agriculture, and climate resilience at scale. Equally important, we invest at the other end of the learning pipeline i.e. high-quality primary-school STEM education. Our CSR vision spans from nurturing early starters to empowering researchers, ensuring that talent and opportunity grow together for the greater good.”
