About

Why we exist.

KEY Foundation was started by Karnika E. Yashwant to channel entrepreneurial energy into something bigger — equipping underserved communities in India with the tools to build better futures.

Every program we run is designed around one question: what do people actually need to move forward?

We bridge the gap between for-profit thinking and nonprofit purpose. We don't just train people — we help them develop the mindset, skills, and connections to create their own opportunities.
