Sunil Chandak,

“Over the last 40 years of my journey, I have witnessed India evolve and transform in remarkable ways. Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in guiding individuals to build the right mindset for success. Today, the level of aspiration, opportunity, curiosity and momentum I see across the nation is truly unparalleled, signaling a powerful movement toward a self-reliant, “Atma Nirbhar” India.
Unnatva Foundation is not just an organization; it is a movement, a collective effort to create an ecosystem of opportunities and ensure that access reaches every underprivileged individual. Through our initiatives, we aim to empower communities, nurture potential and build a future where every person, regardless of their background, can dream, aspire and achieve.”
Shriram Chandak,
CEO, Unnatva Foundation
“After pursuing my MS in Entrepreneurship and Innovation from the University of San Francisco, I witnessed firsthand the vast difference between developed economies and emerging markets like India. This experience deeply shaped my belief that for India to truly become a developed nation by 2047, we must build a society driven by skilled manpower, dynamic entrepreneurs, enterprising women and technocrats who are creating meaningful startups.
I envision an India where aspirations are not confined by geography, where the same spark of ambition burns brightly in the remotest villages as it does in our tier-1 cities. Empowering people with the right skills, mindset and opportunities is the key to unlocking this vision and shaping a self-reliant, innovative India.”
