Founder Trustee's Message

India's greatest advantage is its young population. But potential alone does not build a nation. Skills, confidence, and opportunity do. I founded MK Foundations with a clear belief that entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship are not limited to starting companies or working within organizations. They are ways of thinking that enable individuals to solve problems, create value, and drive economic progress. When young minds develop these capabilities early, they become contributors to productivity, innovation, and growth across sectors. Our vision to empower 1 Crore young minds across India is ambitious because the challenge is national. At this scale, we are not shaping individuals alone. We are strengthening families, industries, and local economies. MK Foundations exists to ensure India's demographic advantage becomes its economic advantage.

With Gratitude
