What Shraddha Eye Care Trust does

Shraddha Eye Care Trust is a not-for-profit charitable trust registered under FCRA, Section 12A, and Section 80G of Indian law, founded in 2004 by Dr. Sri Ganesh and operating as a unit of Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital Pvt. Ltd. Headquartered in Bengaluru, the trust delivers free and subsidized ophthalmology services including cataract, glaucoma, retina, cornea, pediatric ophthalmology, and general eye care, with end-to-end patient support covering transportation, meals, and post-operative follow-up. Its core delivery model combines fixed hospital locations (Padmanabhanagar and Vasanthnagar branches, the latter operated through wholly-owned subsidiary Bangalore Diabetes and Eye Hospital) with mobile eye clinics and community screening camps conducted in rural and underserved areas of Karnataka, supplemented by telemedicine virtual consultations and an online appointment booking system powered by Nethradhama's infrastructure.

The trust is funded entirely through charitable donations from individuals, corporations (via CSR programs), and charitable foundations, with a stated unit sponsorship price of approximately ₹8,500 per cataract surgery for donors. It also operates an Eye Bank and eye donation pledge program to source corneal tissue. Beneficiary scale is reported at 100,000+ free surgeries, 500,000+ screenings, and 3,000+ camps cumulatively; the organization cites a $36 societal return for every $1 invested. The trust is lean (7 employees) and relies on parent Nethradhama Hospitals for clinical capacity, partner NGOs/panchayats for grassroots outreach, and CSR partnerships for funding and event co-hosting.

Strategic positioning is that of a community-led, donor-funded outreach arm of a private specialty eye hospital chain rather than a standalone commercial enterprise; revenue is not publicly disclosed, and there is no evidence of equity funding, acquisitions, or geographic expansion beyond Karnataka.
