Foundation Day of Mission Samriddhi 

On 12th November 2016, a small meeting of around 25 people at the Design Center laid the foundation for what would become a large family of True Rural Transformation Catalysts.

Each interaction with the Mission Samriddhi community continues to humble me – the depth of knowledge, width of experience, and height of commitment that each of you brings is truly inspiring

Over these years, we have conducted Design Thinking workshops across five dimensions of holistic development – Personal, Social, Economic, Ecological, and Institutional. Through First Principles Thinking, we uncovered core issues, and by applying Systems Thinking, we built repeatable and scalable models for transformation

To me, Mission Samriddhi is a Living University of Humanity – it teaches me something new every single week. In these nine years, not one week has passed without learning, reflection, or inspiration from this collective.

As we often say, we don’t thank our family members – yet today, I want to express my deep gratitude to all of you – my teachers, collaborators, and fellow contributors – for walking together on this journey to make the world a better and more humane place.
