Our Approach

  • Philanthropy Advisory: We guide CSR & Employee Volunteering initiatives, high-net-worth individuals, and corporate entities in making impactful contributions, ensuring their resources are utilized effectively to create lasting change.
  • Capacity Building: By empowering NGOs with the necessary tools, skills, and strategies, we enhance their ability to serve communities more efficiently and sustainably.
  • The H-E-L-P-E-D Collective: Our flagship program, focusing on Health, Education, Lifestyle, Profession, Environment and Disability, places underserved communities at its core. We collaborate with various partners to address the multifaceted needs of children & persons with disabilities, ensuring holistic development and well-being.

Our Story

Co-Founded in December 2021 by Deepti Natarajan Iyer, The Bodhi Tree emerged from a shared desire to unify the fragmented social sector. With extensive experience in corporate training and the social impact space, our founders recognized the need for a platform that harmonizes the efforts of funders, NGOs, and beneficiaries. Their vision was to create an integrated approach to philanthropy and community development.

A venture incubated at IIM Bangalore’s NSRCEL’s Women Start-up Programme, The Bodhi Tree aggregates impactful products and tech-enabled social solutions that can transform lives and positively impact underserved communities.

The Bodhi Tree, has consecutively won the ‘Best Social Solutions Consultancy award under the NGO Sector’ at the ‘Karnataka Business Awards 2023 & 2024’.
