Current Situation

The second wave has been nothing short of a nightmare for our country. West Bengal, like many large states, is being pummeled by the tsunami of COVID19. The positivity rate as on 18th May is still at 30%+ which is 50% more than the national average. The situation on the ground is bad especially in semi urban & rural areas.

Who are we

We are a group of professionals and entrepreneurs who are alumni of St Xaviers College, Jadavpur University, Christ College, NUS Singapore, Boston University & Indian School of Business.
