What HEMA Foundation does

HEMA Foundation is a non-profit NGO and the philanthropic arm of RR Kabel (RR Global), headquartered in Mumbai, India. Founded in 2014, the foundation delivers value education programs to schools across India, targeting students in Grades 1 through 10, their teachers, and — increasingly — higher education institutions. Its core digital delivery vehicle is the HEM Virtues e-portal (hemvirtues.com), launched in 2020 during the pandemic, which hosts 50 value-aligned courses with short films, video tutorials, MCQ assessments, and practical activities mapped to the 50 values prescribed by NCERT. Complementary products include HEM Disha (teacher guide book), HEM Harmonize (value integration manuals for English, Maths, Science, EVS, Grades 1-10 aligned with NEP 2020), HEMformation (value education book series), HEM Sampark (daily morning assembly module sent to 4,402 schools at 5-6 AM), HEM Manthan and HEM Shikhar (webinar/panel series), a mobile app on Google Play, and a library of 50 short films (20-22 minutes each).

The foundation operates a CSR-funded model with no direct revenue from schools: all programs and materials are provided free of charge to academic institutions. Funding flows from RR Kabel (RR Global), and distribution occurs through direct school partnerships, university collaborations (6 universities including Gurukula Kangri, Solapur University, Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth), and government partnerships such as with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). Cumulative reported reach since 2020 stands at 485,301 students, 15,127 teachers, and 7,467 schools across India. As a non-commercial entity, HEMA Foundation does not have disclosed financials, pricing, or headcount of paid personnel; it is positioned as a corporate-sponsored social impact initiative rather than a market-rate product company.
