Impact Saathi was built out of a simple observation: India's NGOs and CSR teams are doing extraordinary work, but still managing compliance on spreadsheets. We set out to change that.
"To make every rupee of charitable giving compliant, transparent, and accountable — automatically."Impact Saathi · Greater Noida, India

India's annual CSR mandate — still managed manually by most NGOs and corporates
When we started talking to NGO administrators and CSR managers, the same picture emerged every time: manually typed receipts, donors who never heard back after giving, and certificate tracking happening in someone's personal email folder.
One missed 80G field is a compliance liability. One donor who never gets a utilization update is a donor who won't give again. One expired certificate is a funding relationship at risk.
We built Impact Saathi to solve this — not as an add-on to an existing tool, but as a platform designed specifically for how Indian NGOs and CSR teams actually operate.
Sharda Launchpad
Incubated at Sharda University, Knowledge Park III, Greater Noida
Impact Saathi is incubated at Sharda Launchpad, part of Sharda University's Centre of Excellence for CSR and Social Innovation in Greater Noida — giving us direct access to the NGO and CSR professionals who use the platform every day.
Our architecture is built on serverless cloud infrastructure in AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1), designed around the DPDP Act 2023, India's Income Tax Act 80G requirements, and FCRA compliance — not retrofitted from a global SaaS template.
Founders who come from the intersection of technology and social impact — and have seen the compliance problem firsthand.

The principles that guide every product decision we make.
Every feature starts with what India's laws require — 80G, FCRA, DPDP Act 2023 — not as a constraint, but as a design principle.
Donors should know exactly where their money went. NGOs shouldn't have to chase CSR teams for updates. Visibility is the product.
INR precision, IST timestamps, Hindi language support, Indian mobile validation — not an afterthought, but architected from day one.
An NGO administrator shouldn't spend their day generating receipts. Every step we can automate, we do — correctly and at scale.
Donor PAN numbers encrypted at rest. Tenant-isolated data. DPDP consent captured with timestamps. Privacy is not a checkbox.
No "contact sales" for pricing. No hidden fees. No locked contracts. The numbers are published and the terms are plain language.
