About SRGF

The Strategic Research and Growth Foundation (SRGF) is a dynamic and emerging non-profit organization headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra, whose key objective is to work toward the betterment, welfare and most importantly, growth for our society at large.

We at SRGF believe that long-term and sustainable growth as well as development can be best achieved when the efforts of the various stakeholders of our society are synergized and in harmony with commonly identified areas of impact.

Hence, the idea was born, of establishing an entity that could help bridge the said efforts.
