From a Yatra
To a Movement.
What started as a cross-country road trip became a documentary, then district screenings, and now a mission to light up every district in India with Shifu Foundation.
Bharat SaaS Yatra
The spark that lit the fire.
A bus. A documentary crew. 12,000 kilometres across Bharat. The Bharat SaaS Yatra took founder stories to places that had never heard them - and proved that inspiration doesn't need a metro address.
On the Ground
Activities across India.
From documentary screenings in rural classrooms to founder meetups in tier-2 cities — we're showing up where it matters.
Our Documentary
Against All Odds.
A film about the founders building from Tier 2+ districts of India - and the unlikely paths they took to ship products the world uses.
Our Team
