Origin

The driving force behind the RISHI Foundation is the indelible legacy of Rishi Shet. From a tender age, he formed deep connections with young orphan children living with HIV. Rishi channeled his musical prowess through the violin, orchestrating hope and raising funds to bring smiles to the faces of many. 

His sudden departure when he was seventeen sparked a powerful chain reaction over communities, uniting hearts and hands in a shared mission to create an empowered and secure world for children. The Foundation is dedicated to carrying forth Rishi’s vision of uplifting children and youth, nurturing their innate potential as transformative changemakers. His legacy lives on, harmonizing their journeys and inspiring a brighter future for generations to come.
