Turn commitments into outcomes you can audit.
Three routes in, each with a different first conversation. All three end in the same place: a costed programme with objectives written down before it starts.
Where we stand on CSR eligibility
Under Rule 4 of the Companies (CSR Policy) Rules, an implementing agency must hold 12A and 80G registration, be registered with the MCA through Form CSR-1, and demonstrate a track record of at least three years in similar activities. Companies are expected to verify this with documents, not accept a claim.
Our current position is published below and updates the moment a registration changes. If any line reads "pending", it is pending.

What we do for corporate partners
- Programme design, from community consultation to costed proposal
- Implementation with named local delivery partners
- Monitoring and evaluation built into delivery, not bolted on
- Quarterly reporting in the format a CSR committee accepts
- Employee volunteering, designed and managed
- Multi-location delivery where we have district presence
Sponsor a programme
Fund an existing, costed programme. Fastest route, reporting from day one.
Co-create a programme
Design jointly around your thematic priority and geography, then pilot before scaling.
Adopt a community
Multi-year commitment to one location across more than one pillar.
Employee volunteering
Structured, skill-matched and measured. Costs nothing from the CSR budget.
In-kind contribution
Devices, connectivity, content, licences, venue. Often the fastest thing to approve.
Founding partner
Named permanently in every annual report, a seat in programme design, first five partners only.
An implementation partner that documents itself.
For departments, missions, PSUs and district administrations. We work as a delivery and technology partner across education, skills, digital literacy, health, women's empowerment and community development.
