About Us
About Us
Founded in 1996, the SHIVAA foundation works at the heart of tribal India, fostering sustainable agriculture, reviving indigenous arts, and nurturing communities to lead lives of dignity and purpose
The SHIVAA Foundation is committed to the holistic development of tribal communities across India aligned to the 2015 SDG’s goals. We pursue sustainable livelihoods through organic farming, empower individuals through skill development and education, and honor the cultural identity of the communities we serve. Our work is rooted in compassion, guided by integrity, and sustained by the belief that every person deserves a life of dignity and opportunity.
We envision an India where tribal and rural communities are self-reliant, culturally proud, and empowered to shape their own futures. By advancing agricultural innovation, preserving indigenous arts, and nurturing spiritual well-being, SHIVAA aspires to build a society that is equitable, sustainable, and deeply connected to its roots.
Our work is guided by the Vedic philosophy of Vasudha Iva Kutumbakam: the world is one family. We act with compassion in every engagement, commit to sustainability in every programmed, maintain integrity in every partnership, and believe that lasting change is only possible through genuine collaboration.

Meet Our Founder
Purshottam Bharadwaj Sharma
Founder, SHIVAA Foundation
Born in Punjab and raised in Mumbai, Mr. Purshottam Bharadwaj Sharma built a successful career in the petrochemical industry before answering a deeper calling: to serve those in need and give back to society.
A firm believer in the Vedic philosophy of Vasudha Iva Kutumbakam, he founded the Shri Harihar Socio Spiritual Cultural Evolution Trust in 1996, laying the groundwork for what would become the SHIVAA Foundation. From teaching Karma philosophy in small gatherings in Wada to building a thriving campus of sustainable agriculture and cultural revival, his journey is one of purpose lived with extraordinary consistency.
Today, the SHIVAA campus stands as a living expression of his vision: a place of belonging, productivity, and hope for thousands of individuals and families across Maharashtra.
Ruchi P. Sharma
Co-Founder and Director, SHIVAA Foundation. Director, reds Ruchi S Design (ranked among India's top 50 design firms)
Ruchi P. Sharma has been at the heart of SHIVAA since its founding year. Her background as one of India’s leading designers, drawing from ancient Indian techniques and blending them with contemporary sensibility, has profoundly shaped the Foundation’s approach to cultural preservation and skill development.
Under her leadership, the organization was reoriented and rebranded as SHIVAA: Shri Harihar Indian Village of Art and Agriculture. This transformation sharpened the Foundation’s focus on agriculture and skilled craftsmanship, ensuring that the revival of India’s artistic traditions remains central to its development mission.
