Keshu Foundation

Our Inspiring Journey

Keshu Foundation was founded by Mr. Ankush Biradar based on the educational needs of children in slums. Realizing the importance of a holistic approach to address education and development issues, and to reduce educational inequality, the Foundation began its work in 2021.

Initially starting by providing school supplies to needy students in Pune's slums, the organization later expanded to serve broader needs, including skill development courses for women and youth. Today, we stand as a registered not-for-profit entity dedicated to transforming lives.
