Guru Krupa Foundation Inc: Powering the Next Wave of Social Innovation with Action For India
At Action For India (AFI), we believe that solving India’s most pressing development challenges
requires nurturing bold, mission-driven entrepreneurs who are building scalable solutions for
social good. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of collaborating with visionary partners who
share our belief in the transformative power of social entrepreneurship. One such long-standing
partner is Guru Krupa Foundation Inc., whose renewed commitment is helping catalyze the
next generation of changemakers across the country.
A Partnership Rooted in Shared Purpose
Guru Krupa Foundation Inc. has once again reaffirmed its support for AFI’s mission by investing
in the journeys of high-potential social entrepreneurs across India. This continued partnership is
not only a testament to the foundation’s deep trust in AFI’s model but also a powerful validation
of the work being done by our community of founders—many of whom are operating in
underserved and underrepresented geographies.
Through this collaboration, AFI will be able to support a select group of impact-driven
entrepreneurs who are building inclusive, scalable, and locally rooted innovations in sectors
such as:
- Education & Skill Development
- Climate-Smart Agriculture
- Accessible Healthcare
- Sustainable Livelihoods
- Clean Energy and Climate Action
- Financial Inclusion
Enabling Grassroots Innovation to Scale
These changemakers come from diverse social, economic, and regional backgrounds, but are
united by a common vision—to build a more inclusive and equitable India. With AFI’s
acceleration support, these entrepreneurs will gain:
- Access to sector-specific mentoring
- Guidance on investment readiness and fundraising
- Exposure through demo days and ecosystem showcases
- Participation in peer-learning cohorts and national forums
- Opportunities to connect with global experts and diaspora leaders
AFI’s tailored acceleration framework helps these entrepreneurs transition from promising
early-stage ventures to sustainable, impact-ready enterprises capable of transforming entire
communities.
Building a Stronger, Impact-First Ecosystem
This partnership is also aligned with AFI’s long-term strategy of fostering a robust and inclusive
ecosystem for social entrepreneurship in India. It contributes to our broader goal of creating
pathways for systemic change, where mission-aligned funders, policymakers, corporate
allies, and civil society organizations can come together to amplify outcomes.
A Note of Gratitude
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Guru Krupa Foundation Inc. for its continued generosity,
trust, and unwavering support. Their commitment plays a critical role in enabling Action For
India to identify, nurture, and scale the work of India’s most promising social innovators.
Together, we are not only powering individual journeys—we are collectively advancing the vision
of a new India built on equity, innovation, and resilience.
