One in every three employees in Indian companies has participated in a volunteering activity in the last year, as opposed to one in five employees globally. That is an approximation of percentages-based data from Goodera’s Volunteering Quotient (VQ) Report 2025. According to the report, 31% of the workforce in Indian companies have participated in a volunteering activity in the last year, surpassing the global benchmark of 22%.


The zeal for volunteering is greater in smaller firms (defined as those with fewer than 5000 employees). These firms report 44% workforce participation in volunteering activities. Sector leaders include technology (35%) and financial services (31%). This is also underscored by 3.5 hours per volunteer on an average, reflecting both depth of engagement and consistency across programmes.
