2012 

Our Journey BeginsA Vision Rooted in Change

In 2012, under the global vision of TechnoServe Inc., TNS India Foundation began its journey. Our initial focus was clear: empower India’s most underserved communities, particularly in agriculture and women’s entrepreneurship.

Recognizing the growing challenges faced by young job seekers from disadvantaged backgrounds, by 2015, our mission evolved further, embracing youth skilling and employability as a pivotal area of impact.

2022 

Becoming IndependentDeepening Our Impact

In March 2022, TNS India Foundation stepped forward as an independent entity, proudly led by our Managing Director, Ms. Rupa Bohra, and supported by an independent Board of Directors. This was more than just an organizational transition, it was our reaffirmed commitment to deepen our impact and amplify our reach.

Today, we are proudly operating in over 10 states and Union Territories, impacting the lives of over 66,000+ individuals through targeted and sustainable interventions.

“We work to democratize access to opportunities for under-resourced individuals to unlock their economic potential, while focusing on diversity and inclusion, by building sustainable growth systems.”

“We endeavor to create shared value by executing demand-driven, industry-relevant, sustainable solutions to stimulate socio-economic growth.”

What Sets Us ApartDesigned for Lasting Impact

At TNS India Foundation, we believe meaningful change starts by putting people first. We listen closely to the ambitions of the youth, women, and rural communities we work with, then design programs that speak directly to their realities. We choose quality over quick wins, hiring young trainers who relate to their learners and adapting to emerging market needs. Every initiative is shaped by a commitment to sustainable economic transformation, supported by technology, sector-specific insights, and strong partnerships with government and industry.

Our measure of success is the independence and confidence our communities gain. When farmers run thriving collectives, when alumni come back as mentors, and when women entrepreneurs expand their reach, we see proof that our approach works. Guided by our core values, a gender-inclusive lens, and a mindset of adaptability, we create solutions that are practical, measurable, and built to last.

Our Goal

Enabling sustainable economic transformation of vulnerable population groups in India and low and middle-income countries through youth skilling, farmer livelihoods, and women entrepreneurship initiatives.

Partnering with TNS India Foundation has been a deeply enriching experience. Their commitment to skilling and empowering underserved communities aligns seamlessly with our vision for inclusive growth across Asia Pacific. A standout example is the Campus to Industrial Careers initiative, which is equipping young women with the skills and confidence to thrive in India’s manufacturing sector. Together, we’ve not only built impactful programs but also fostered a culture of purpose-driven collaboration. I’m excited about the future we’re shaping, where technology and strategic partnerships converge to unlock scalable opportunities for all.
