We are proud to announce that the Spherule Foundation has been recognized as the Best Social Impact Organization in India of 2025 by Evergreen Awards. This prestigious award honors the Foundation's extraordinary contributions to social development, with a particular focus on its innovative approach to tackling issues of education, health, women empowerment, and environmental sustainability across India.

A Transformative Journey: From Silicon Valley to Social Impact

At the heart of the Spherule Foundation's success is its founder, Dr. Geeta Bora, whose inspiring journey from a successful software architect to a social entrepreneur has become a beacon of hope for thousands of individuals across India. For over a decade, Dr. Bora thrived in the tech world, earning accolades for her work with tech giants and even receiving recognition from former Indian President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam for her innovations in digital education. However, a pivotal moment in 2016 changed the course of her life. Upon learning of a tragic death caused by poor menstrual hygiene, Dr. Bora realized that her technical expertise could be redirected toward solving pressing social problems. She left behind her corporate career and launched the Spherule Foundation in 2017, with a vision to bring systematic, scalable change to the most marginalized communities.

A Holistic Approach to Social Development

What sets the Spherule Foundation apart is its unique, interconnected approach to social development. Dr. Bora’s engineering mindset has shaped the Foundation’s efforts to design efficient systems that tackle multiple issues simultaneously. Rather than focusing on one specific area, Spherule adopts a holistic model that integrates education, health, women empowerment, and environmental sustainability. This method ensures that every solution addresses the root causes of poverty and inequality in a comprehensive manner, ensuring that no aspect of the problem is overlooked.

Core Programs That Drive Lasting Change

Spherule’s work spans a variety of crucial sectors, all of which are designed to build lasting, systemic change. For women empowerment, the Foundation provides vocational training, skill development programs, and corporate compliance solutions to ensure that women in underserved communities can achieve economic independence. Through its focus on menstrual health, Spherule has reached millions with critical awareness programs, even setting a Guinness World Record for the largest menstrual health session conducted.

In education, Spherule focuses on the future readiness of young minds. Through its STEM and digital learning labs in underserved areas, the Foundation is helping children, especially girls, break the cycle of poverty. They also offer scholarships and remedial classes to ensure every child has access to quality education.

The Foundation's commitment to environmental sustainability is also evident through its "Green Schools," waste management programs, and water conservation campaigns, ensuring that the communities they serve are as sustainable as the solutions they offer.

A Model of Transparency and Impact

Spherule Foundation’s success is not only measured by the scale of its impact but also by the transparency and accountability it demonstrates. The Foundation’s recognition as one of India’s Top 30 Most Trusted NGOs is a testament to its integrity and the tangible results it delivers. Their commitment to governance and measurable outcomes has earned them accolades from both national and international bodies, including the Mahatma Award for Social Good & Impact and the Global Icon Award at the G20 Global Economic Forum Summit.

The Intersection of Technology and Social Good

Dr. Bora’s background in software architecture has allowed Spherule to leverage technology in its mission. Rather than offering charity, Spherule designs scalable, data-driven solutions that create sustainable change. One of their notable innovations is the InstaShala app, which brings digital education to remote areas, ensuring that children in underserved communities are equipped with the skills they need to thrive in the modern world.

Words from Dr. Geeta Bora

Reflecting on her journey, Dr. Bora shares, “I spent a decade building systems for the digital world. When I realized the problems in the human world were just as complex, I decided to apply the same principles: innovation, data-driven strategy, and scalability. Our work isn’t charity; it’s an engineered solution to social inequality.”
