Avanti Foundation was set up in 2012 in Mumbai, India. Founded by A V Suresh, a senior corporate professional with over 35 years experience working in one of India’s premier sales and marketing organisations. AVS admits that in his 35 year corporate career the single most important achievement he can claim is that he has helped create professional lives of so many youth, largely from the less privileged background. 

Creating lives and helping individual’s achieve their dreams has been the catalyst for establishing Avanti Foundation. Avanti, means “to go forward, go ahead” (in Italian) and in Sanskrit Avanti is referred to as a medieval city of eternal happiness, Avanti Foundation aims to typify this meaning by providing opportunity and progress for everyone it impacts.

Vision
Avanti Foundation desires to provide opportunities for improvement by inspiring underprivileged youth and women to become self-sufficient, educated and empowered thereby creating a better life for themselves and their families. It also strives to improve the health and hygiene conditions of families in rural and urban slum areas.
