“The sparkle in the children’s eyes said it all, their classrooms were bright, welcoming, and full of joy. After all, where they learn is just as important as what they learn! And that's when we realized that you do not need to be a teacher to change a child's life. You just need to be someone who cares enough to listen to them, spend time with them, and learn from them!”
- Odessa Technologies
“Partnering with Parinaam Foundation has been a journey of purpose. Their integrity, compassion, and impact-driven approach have further aligned our work with the values of progress and purpose.

There are thousands of individuals, from across the world, who support us with contributions big and small. Some provide funds, some share their skills, some give us their time. Without them, all this would not have been possible.

Parinaam also has the privilege of partnering with names that spell integrity in the financial sector. It is their commitment that has driven us to work with more communities in Bangalore, and across India in our healthcare and infrastructure projects. Parinaam’s association with these organisations has helped us develop transparency and financial integrity of the highest order.
