SRIDHAR AIYANGAR, Chairman-cum- Managing Trustee

Sridhar Aiyangar is the Founder and Chairman-cum-Managing Trustee of “Make a Difference Foundation”.
Sridhar firmly believes that each one of us can make a difference to our community in our own small way and when we come together, we can make a big difference and greater impact. Little drops maketh the Ocean.
One doesn’t have to be wealthy or rich to help someone to make a difference to someone’s life. About 15% of India’s population is undernourished and less than 50% of the children between the age of 6 and 14 have access to proper school. There are many who are struggling to get one proper meal every day. When we come together as a group we can “Make A Difference” to people’s lives in a sustainable manner.
