Sanskruti Foundation : NGO

What Sanskruti Foundation : NGO does

Sanskruti Foundation is an Indian non-governmental organization founded in 2017 that focuses on women empowerment through vocational training, education, and livelihood programs. The organization primarily serves women from slums and villages in Delhi and Jharkhand, providing free services including Agarbatti (incense stick) making training, vocational skill development across sectors such as construction, crafts, healthcare, and agriculture, and broader vocational education initiatives. Sanskruti operates from regional offices in New Delhi (Neb Sarai, IGNOU Road) and Ranchi, Jharkhand (Kanke Road), and reports engagement with hundreds of donors and volunteers who support program delivery.

The foundation's business model is entirely donation-based, with no commercial revenue streams, no pricing to beneficiaries (all programs are free of cost), and no institutional investment rounds identified. Its go-to-market approach is community-led and event-driven, relying on grassroots outreach, campaign events, website presence, newsletters, and volunteer/donor word-of-mouth to reach both beneficiaries and supporters. The organization is led by Chairman Koushik Ganguly and Vice Chairman Sandip Achariya, supported by four Team Leads (Debasis Ray, Bibhas Sengupta, Animesh Majhi, and Shibsankar Mahapatra). Sanskruti does not employ proprietary technology; its core capability is human-delivered community programming rather than a technology platform. With 39 employees and operations confined to two Indian states, the organization remains a small-scale grassroots entity dependent on continued donor support and volunteer engagement.
