For these 7 honchos on Forbes Asia's new list of philanthropists, charity sure begins at home!

Indians are not only leading some of the most influential companies across the world but are also indulging in charitable work. Here is the proof! Seven Indians, including three Infosys co-founders and a Dubai-based entrepreneur, are in the latest Forbes Asia edition in a new group of philanthropists from 13 countries for their noteworthy contributions.

Infosys co-founders Senapathy Gopalakrishnan, Nandan Nilekani and SD Shibulal are in the Forbes Asia's 9th list of philanthropists in the Asia-Pacific region for their individual contributions to health and education sectors.

Like father like son! Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murthy’s son Rohan, also feature in the list. He donated a whopping $5.2 million to Harvard University Press for promoting ancient Indian literary classics. He represents his father as a philanthropist.

Further, Kerala-born entrepreneur Sunny Varkey features in the list. In June 2015, he was in the news for his pledge to donate half his fortune worth $2.25 billion as charity in response to the Giving Pledge Initiative.

Based in Dubai, Varkey is the founder of GEMS Education, a chain of 70 private schools in 14 countries. He has already been featured in Forbes' list of top Indian philanthropists.

The two others are India-born brothers Suresh Ramakrishnan and Mahesh Ramakrishnan. Both are London-based entrepreneurs and are founders of Whitcomb & Shaftesbury Tailors on London's Saville Row.

They have donated a whopping $3 million for training of more than 4,000 people in tailoring across India.

The people who benefited from their benevolence are the victims of the 2004 tsunami and "ill-fated" women.
