For the past 20 years, Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon (VDHM) has brought together passionate runners, fitness enthusiasts, changemakers, and everyday citizens to celebrate the spirit of Delhi and the power of collective action.
Organised by Procam International, VDHM is recognised as one of the world's premier half marathons, known for its scale, inclusivity, and deep-rooted commitment to social impact.
Since its inception in 2005, VDHM has championed the cause of running for good, making philanthropy an integral part of its identity. Over the years, it has enabled hundreds of NPOs, thousands of runners, and countless donors to come together for causes they believe in, from education and health to climate action and women's empowerment.

Serving as the bridge between passion and purpose, Lakshyaa empowers NPOs, corporates, run clubs, and individuals to transform every kilometre into meaningful impact.

Over the last three decades, I have had the privilege of working at the intersection of policy, purpose, and people - helping shape India's CSR ecosystem and collaborating with governments, corporates, and communities to create meaningful and sustainable social impact.
At the heart of this journey lies a simple belief: lasting change happens when passion is channelled towards purpose. It is a philosophy that has guided my professional life and one that resonates deeply with my love for sport. Distance running, much like development work, is a reflection of perseverance, commitment, resilience, and the power of collective effort.
As we look ahead to the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon 2026, I do so with a deep sense of pride and gratitude. Our first year as the Official Philanthropy Partner at VDHM 2025 was an inspiring and rewarding experience. Together with Procam International, participating NPOs, corporates, runners, donors, and supporters, we witnessed the remarkable potential of sport to unite people around causes that matter. The enthusiasm, generosity, and commitment demonstrated by every stakeholder reaffirmed our belief that running can be a powerful catalyst for social change.
Building on the momentum and learnings of a successful first year, Lakshyaa is delighted to continue as the partnership for VDHM 2026. We are excited to deepen our engagement with the social sector, strengthen partnerships, empower more NPOs, and create even greater opportunities for individuals and organisations to contribute towards meaningful impact.
At Lakshyaa, we believe philanthropy is most effective when it is supported by strong systems, strategic guidance, and authentic collaboration. Beyond fundraising, we work closely with our partners to build capacities, amplify causes, promote connections, and create pathways for sustainable growth and impact.
VDHM is a movement that brings together determination, compassion, and community spirit. As we embark on this year's journey, I invite every runner, donor, corporate, run club, and NPO to become part of this collective effort to build a more equitable, inclusive, and hopeful future.
Together, let us make every step count and every kilometre meaningful.
Warm Regards,
Nikhil Pant
