Built for Those Left Behind
Sameer Penakalapati has spent his career connecting people to opportunity. As CEO of Indotronix Avani Group, a US-India staffing firm, he's placed thousands of professionals into work that changed their trajectories. But staffing serves those already at the door. Nigama Foundation exists for those still far from it.
Founded in Hyderabad, the foundation carries his conviction that opportunity begins with dignity: a classroom with an auditorium, an elder with company, a student with a counselor who listens. The numbers on this site are that principle, delivered. Nigama Foundation serves as the philanthropic arm of both Indotronix Avani Group and Ceipal.
Why We Exist
We believe dignity isn't given. It's delivered in person, by hand, on time. Nigama Foundation works across Hyderabad, Vizag, and Chennai to educate young people who lack supplies and infrastructure, care for both the young and the old who've been left behind, and build the physical backbone — classrooms, water plants, and supply lines — that makes both last.
Three pillars. One promise. Every rupee arrives as something you can touch.
Delivery over declaration
We measure ourselves by what arrives, not what we announce.
Specificity over scale
One name, one classroom, one delivery at a time.
Consistency over campaigns
Quarterly drives, not one-time gestures.
Dignity as the standard
Every action is judged by whether it preserves the recipient's dignity.
