Sitare Foundation
About Sitare Foundation: Sitare Foundation, founded by Shilpa and Amit Singhal, believes in the power of education and the impact it can have on the lives of people. In today’s world, good education is not always accessible to the underprivileged in our society. There is tremendous potential and talent in these children, all they need is access to good education. We believe in finding the brightest and most intellectually gifted underprivileged children from across India, and providing them with a great education.

We are taking a scientific, step-by-step approach to impact lives, families, and societies through education. We aim to educate 50,000 students by 2050. We know that after going through our seven-year program, our students will shine like Sitare, and inspire millions in their own communities.
