Co-founded by Navya Naveli Nanda and Samyak Chakrabarty in 2021, Nimaya stands for a simple but powerful belief that :
A young woman’s dreams should not be limited by her background.
Naaris Trained
Gujarat, Maharashtra,
Uttar-Pradesh, Haryana & Rajasthan
Our mission is to enable women from India’s most underrepresented communities to step confidently into the future of work..
Every Nimaya Naari we train is not just learning a skill — she’s rewriting what’s possible for herself, her family, and for countless girls who will follow in her footsteps.
Nimaya is also sparking a mindset revolution in how India thinks about CSR and social change.
In a world being reshaped by automation, why should crores of funds still be spent on obsolete vocational training?
We’re building a new template for social innovation — one that inspires business leaders, philanthropists, and policymakers to invest in bold, future-focused experiments that redefine opportunity for women everywhere.
