In today’s fast-moving world of startups, technology, and innovation, it’s easy to get caught up in the race for growth, valuations, and personal success. But beyond the balance sheets and boardrooms lies a truth we often forget: true success is measured by the lives we touch and the impact we create.
For me, giving back has never been about generosity alone; it is about responsibility. Just as we owe gratitude to those who guided us in our journeys, we owe action to those who need support today.
With Brahma Tank, inspired by the Hindu creator deity Brahma and the popular American TV show Shark Tank, the vision is to provide more than just funding. It is about creating a nurturing ecosystem where innovative ideas, especially from women and underrepresented groups, can thrive.
We bring together seasoned professionals from diverse industries who offer strategic mentorship, real-world insights, and a network of opportunities to help young entrepreneurs scale their ideas into impactful ventures.
But our focus doesn’t stop at high-tech startups or breakthrough innovations. Impact-driven entrepreneurship is equally important.
Parallel to Brahma Tank, the Likhari Foundation carries forward the family’s legacy of social responsibility. We focus on empowering underprivileged girls through education, mentorship, and skill development—because when a girl is educated and independent, entire communities are uplifted.
Whether it’s literacy programs for young girls, seed funding campaigns for women entrepreneurs, or skill-building initiatives in rural areas, our aim is to create sustainable pathways for growth and equality.
Philanthropy is often viewed as optional—a charitable act for those who ‘can.’ But I believe giving back is not about surplus wealth; it’s about intent and accountability. Each of us, in our own capacity, can guide, encourage, and uplift others.
When businesses and individuals adopt giving back as a responsibility, we build a culture where success is not just personal, but collective. It ensures that innovation doesn’t remain confined to boardrooms but trickles down to empower villages, women, and youth who need it the most.
The journey ahead requires collaboration. Through Brahma Tank, we are opening doors for entrepreneurs with bold ideas. Through the Likhari Foundation, we are ensuring women and girls have the tools to build their own futures.
Giving back is not charity—it is the rent we pay for living in a society that gave us opportunities. Together, let’s make it a responsibility, not a choice.
