Sumedha Kailash

We were deeply honoured by the gracious invitation and warm hospitality extended by the Swiss Ambassador to India and Bhutan at the Swiss Residence in New Delhi. Ambassadors from 12 countries, from Latin America to across Europe to South East Asia and #SMGC Founder Mr. @k_satyarthi, Co-Founder Mrs. @sumedhakailash and CEO Ms. @as_satyarthi came together for a meaningful and reflective dialogue. At the heart of the conversation was a powerful provocation: what if compassion became the guiding force of diplomacy? Drawing from lived experiences and global realities, the exchange illuminated how compassionate action can inform foreign policy, deepen cooperation, and restore human dignity to the centre of decision-making. It was a timely reminder that the future of diplomacy will not be shaped by negotiation alone—but by our courage to care, our willingness to respond, and our commitment to act. #compassion #compassionateaction @BrazilEmbassyIN @SwedensAmbIndia @AustriainIndia @AmbAckermann @CaucinoMariano @RokEmbIndia @sena_latif @MarjeLuup @IcelandinIndia @SwissEmbassyIND

It is time to globalize compassion.🫂 Honoured to host Nobel Peace Laureate @k_satyarthi at the Swiss Residence. Together with fellow ambassadors, we explored how compassion can guide foreign policy in a world that faces geopolitical shifts. Drawing from his book ‘Karuna: The Power of Compassion’, he reminded us: compassion is action, courage, and the power to transform lives— protecting children, defending rights, and building a more humane world.🌏 #ChildRights #Diplomacy #SocialImpact @smgc_official @sumedhakailash @as_satyarthi @mittal_sudeep @BrazilEmbassyIN @SwedensAmbIndia @AustriainIndia @AmbAckermann @CaucinoMariano @RokEmbIndia @sena_latif @MarjeLuup @IcelandinIndia @SwissEmbassyIND

168 innocent girls were killed in their school in Iran. These were our daughters. Today, 470 million children live in war zones—they are all our children. This madness must end. At the #GlobalBakuForum, Azerbaijan, I called for the globalisation of compassion to save our present and future. #IranWar #Peace @NizamiGanjaviIC @smgc_official

With the world enthralled by the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence and as India’s #AIImpactSummit shapes a powerful global discourse, Nobel Peace Laureate Mr. @k_satyarthi makes a compelling and urgent call for Compassionate AI in this timely and important Op-Ed published by @htTweets. At a moment when AI is increasingly driven by a high-stakes race for power, dominance, and profit, Mr. Satyarthi argues that the world must choose a different path. Compassionate AI is not a technological upgrade, it is a moral imperative. It is artificial intelligence guided by compassion, a force for mindful problem-solving. Read the piece to understand why Compassionate AI is not just an idea, but a responsibility — and how it can shape a future that is not only smarter, but also responsible. hindustantimes.com/opinion/beyond… #AIImpactSummit #CompassionateAI #compassion

“Compassion is the conscious effort to ensure that legal processes respond meaningfully to human consequences while remaining firmly anchored in principle. History is filled with moments when the river of justice surges forward because compassion gave it momentum” These powerful words by Hon'ble. Mr. Justice Surya Kant, Chief Justice of India, opened the historic Delhi book launch of our Founder Shri Kailash Satyarthi’s 'Karuna: The Power of Compassion.' Urging everyone to read ‘Karuna’ and highlighting the importance of compassion in the judicial system, Mr. Justice Surya Kant added, “Compassion must remain a mighty living force carrying the promise of justice to all whom it touches. And I believe that ‘Karuna’ will be a powerful tool for developing this much-needed part of the Indian judiciary.” #KailashSatyarthi #TheKarunaBook #RedefineCompassion #JusticeWithCompassion #PowerOfCompassion #BookLaunch @k_satyarthi @sumedhakailash @as_satyarthi @HarperCollinsIN @KSCFIndia @thekiranbedi

We are in a high-stakes race for AI power, but regulations and ethics aren't enough. In my today's op-ed for @HindustanTimes, I argue that we need to move beyond "Ethical AI" and "Responsible AI" to "Compassionate AI." Here’s what? why? and how? hindustantimes.com/opinion/eyond-…

Leadership is revealed through the choices it makes and the people those choices serve. At the @Davos in Davos, a critical conversation on Modern Slavery, Leadership, Compassion and Systems Change will bring together leaders committed to confronting exploitation through responsibility and systemic reform. #SMGC is honoured to be part of this dialogue, with our CEO, @as_satyarthi, speaking alongside @lisakristine, @IoanaBauer, and Scott Cunningham. This exchange will examine how compassion, when centred in leadership, can drive accountability and systems change in the fight against modern slavery. #CompassionateLeadership #ModernSlavery #SystemsChange #Davos2026 #WorldEconomicForum2026 @KSCFIndia @k_satyarthi @sumedhakailash

The Gully Fair at Bal Mitra Mandal in Delhi saw the lanes come alive with colour, laughter, and shared purpose. It was more than an event, the fair was a coming together of children, families, and the community to celebrate safety, compassion, and care. The event promoted entrepreneurship and skill-building by enabling women, youth, and adolescents to run community-led stalls. One of the highlights of the event was the felicitation of 12 Bal Mitra Mandal members, including women, children, youth, and adults. They were honoured as “Karuna Sathi” for their work in the community, and being true compassionate leaders. Their stories reminded us that leadership rooted in kindness can inspire an entire neighbourhood. Alongside the celebrations, the fair became a space for learning and support. Through a Government Schemes Awareness Camp, legal and health sessions, child safety awareness by Delhi Police, and conversations on compassion, families accessed information that can make a difference in everyday life. Families accessed essential services: Aadhaar support for 68, bank accounts for 17, EWS services for 19, and 84 people reached through the government schemes camp, along with legal (25), compassion (58), Delhi Police child safety (10), and health check-up sessions (60). And of course, there was joy everywhere! Games, drawing corners, a bouncy Mickey, and food stalls ensured that children experienced the fair as a happy space meant just for them. The overwhelming participation from the community reflected a shared belief: protecting childhood is a collective responsibility. This Gully Fair beautifully wove together awareness, recognition, and recreation, strengthening child protection and nurturing compassion at the grassroots level. #compassion #compassionatecommunities #compassionateleadership @KSCFIndia

आप सभी को नववर्ष 2026 की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ नया वर्ष आपके जीवन में करुणा, आशा और सकारात्मकता का उजाला लेकर आए |

नोबेल शांति पुरस्कार की 11वी वर्षगाँठ पर आप सभी को बहुत बहुत बधाई |

11 वर्ष पहले आज के ही दिन दुनिया के सबसे उपेक्षित, पीड़ित और शोषित बच्चों की तरफ से मैंने नोबेल शांति पुरस्कार ग्रहण किया था। मैं उन सभी के प्रति कृतज्ञ हूं, जिनके कारण यह संभव हो सका। ओस्लो के उस समारोह में मैंने दुनिया के सबसे अधिक पीड़ित बच्चे के लिए पहली पंक्ति में एक कुर्सी खाली रखवाई थी, ताकि हमें हमेशा अपनी जिम्मेदारी का एहसास बना रहे। आज भी लगभग 14 करोड़ बच्चे बाल मजदूरी के शिकार हैं और 24 करोड़ शिक्षा से वंचित हैं। करोड़ों निरीह और निरपराध बच्चे युद्धों और हिंसा से पीड़ित हैं और भुखमरी के शिकार बने हुए हैं। उनके बचपन को बचाकर पहली पंक्ति में बैठाने के लिए मेरा संघर्ष जारी रहेगा, और हम इसे हासिल करके रहेंगे। इसी संघर्ष को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए हमने करुणा का वैश्विक आंदोलन शुरू किया है। मैं आपका आह्वान करता हूँ।

Today, I participated in the Telangana Rising Global Summit 2025 held in Hyderabad. It was attended by over 2,500 leaders from all walks of life, from 42 countries. I applaud the remarkable work of CM @revanth_anumula and his government specifically for farmers, women, children, and other marginalised people, and fully support their bold Vision 2047. In my address, I emphasised that economic growth matters only when it is inclusive and sustainable, ensuring its benefits reach the last person. Otherwise, growth risks deepening inequalities and weakening social cohesion. This makes compassionate leadership indispensable. Compassion is not mercy; it is a powerful, active force that drives justice, equality, peace, and sustainability. Leaders guided by compassion create systems that uplift the vulnerable and make growth truly shared. @TelanganaCMO @GlobalSummitTG #TelanganaRising2047
