Technology for good.
We fund community projects and open-source initiatives that expand access to opportunity.
Chowdhary.org provides grants to hackathons, developer events, and impact-focused projects—especially those serving underrepresented communities. We've helped distribute emergency relief during COVID-19, organized India's first civic hackathon, and continue to support builders who are solving real problems for real people.

The Chowdhary.org Foundation provides grants to community-driven projects that use technology to expand access and opportunity. We focus on initiatives that might not attract traditional funding but can create outsized impact.
We sponsor developer events, hackathons, and open-source projects. We've supported emergency relief efforts, civic technology initiatives, and platforms that celebrate local entrepreneurship. If you're building something that helps people—and need support to make it happen—we want to hear from you.
“Through the lens of technology, we see not just challenges, but opportunities to make a lasting difference.”
At Chowdhary.org, every innovation is a step towards a future where technology serves humanity in its noblest form.
