Azim Premji Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation working to improve the quality and equity of education across India. For over two decades, the Foundation has partnered with government schools, teachers, and communities to make sure every child gets a meaningful education. With a presence in more than 40 districts across seven states and one union territory, the Foundation reaches over 3,50,000 schools and employs more than 1,000 people.
The Foundation’s work is rooted in the belief that education is the key to creating a just, humane, and sustainable society. Its teams work directly with teachers, school leaders, and education officials, offering support through workshops, mentoring, and resource development. The Foundation also runs its own schools in several states, providing high-quality, values-based education that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and empathy.
Beyond education, the Foundation supports initiatives in health, livelihoods, grants, and higher education, all aimed at improving the well-being of vulnerable communities. The organisation values diversity, learning, and collaboration, and offers a supportive environment where everyone is encouraged to grow and make a difference. At the Azim Premji Foundation, every day is an opportunity to contribute to positive change and help build a better future for children and communities across India.
