Our Inspiration

Over the past two decades, we have been privileged to receive invaluable guidance from our mentors and engage with a variety of institutions focused on capacity building and the strengthening of people’s organizations. This journey has not only provided us with profound insights but also shaped a clear philosophy rooted in concern, commitment, and responsibility toward our communities.

Our mentors, such as Shri Varadachari Srinivasan, Dr. Mrs. Banoo J Coyaji, Dr. Rajinikant Shankar Arole, Dr. Jal M. Mehta, and Dr. Indumati Parikh, played a crucial role in the early stages of our development. Their wisdom and support have helped us navigate change and have instilled in us the vital understanding that local knowledge, traditions, and values are at the core of building sustainable capacities and fostering new leadership within grassroots organizations. Their mentorship has been a foundational pillar in shaping our approach, ensuring that our work continues to honor the strengths and insights of the communities we serve, and is rooted in a deep respect for their voices and contributions.
