Overview
Cybage Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Cybage, is driven by a deep commitment to giving back to society. We are dedicated to creating a positive impact through various initiatives. Our focus extends beyond corporate boundaries, championing causes that uplift lives and foster sustainable development.
CybageAsha
Since its inception in 2005, CybageAsha has worked relentlessly toward fostering positive change in the lives of the underprivileged and bridging the socio-economic divide between rural and urban India. Under the leadership of Ritu Nathani, Director of Cybage and Head of Cybage Foundation, this philanthropic arm of Cybage has meticulously formulated and executed myriad initiatives in and around Pune. With the unwavering support of a dedicated team of 11 members and the active participation of numerous Cybage employees who generously volunteer their time and expertise, CybageAsha is steadfast in its commitment to making a meaningful and sustainable impact in its communities.
CybageAsha's rural upliftment vertical is the cornerstone of its outreach initiatives. With over 81 villages positively impacted, the Trust has made a significant difference in the lives of 1,50,000 beneficiaries through various projects such as watershed management, desilting rivulets, and sustainable agriculture practices. The holistic approach taken by CybageAsha has helped build stronger communities and promote organic farming, modern agricultural techniques such as drip irrigation, mulching, etc., and biogas plant installations.
Besides long-term initiatives, CybageAsha undertakes short-term projects such as enabling volunteers to engage with visually impaired individuals, orphans, women's groups, senior citizens, and other less fortunate segments of society. Collaborating with various NGOs and social service organizations further extends the reach of CybageAsha, amplifying its overall impact.
CybageKhushboo
CybageKhushboo, the Charitable arm and self-sustained NGO of Cybage Software Pvt. Ltd., is a beacon of hope and empowerment in education. Established in 2009 by Arun Nathani, CEO and M.D. of Cybage, and his wife Ritu Nathani, Director of Cybage, the Trust provides financial assistance to economically backward but promising students to help them fulfill their educational aspirations and secure a bright future.
As a part of its flagship initiative, CybageKhushboo provides scholarships to students who want to pursue professional courses in Engineering (B.E. and Diploma), Architecture, MBA, Hotel Management, Medicine, and related courses such as Pharmacy, Dentistry, Homeopathy, Nursing, and Physiotherapy.
In tandem with its emphasis on education, the Philanthropic arm conducts holistic grooming sessions, both in-person and online, to develop its beneficiaries' soft skills, communication abilities, and technical prowess. This prepares them for the competitive job market and ensures they are well-equipped to succeed in interviews.
