Diya Foundation: Creating Pathways of Opportunity

Sundar Seth also leads the Diya Foundation, which is on a mission to transform lives through education. Diya Foundation was born from a simple, powerful belief: that every child, no matter their background, deserves a chance to dream, learn, and thrive. Established in 2014 by Sundar Sethuraman, Diya Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) organization in the United States and proudly hold 80G status in India.

Sundar Seth has supported over 400 deserving children on their educational journeys through Diya Foundation, many now working in multinational corporations and creating better futures for their families. Diya Foundation work—from building classroom infrastructure to computer labs in rural schools—is entirely self-funded through profits from Purple Drive, allowing him to maintain his independence and vision without soliciting external donations.

Sundar Seth is proud of his team's engagement in doing services at orphanages and elder care homes; every child's smile fuels our continued commitment to giving back. This dedication not only enriches the lives of those they assist but also inspires others in the community to contribute in meaningful ways. By fostering a culture of compassion and service, Sundar hopes to create a ripple effect that extends far beyond the immediate beneficiaries of their efforts.

Over the years, Diya Foundation has touched the lives of thousands of individuals across India. From building essential infrastructure in rural schools to establishing computer labs, sponsoring children’s education, and providing humanitarian aid during times of crisis, our initiatives have created lasting, meaningful change. We believe in the power of collective action to uplift communities and bring hope where it’s needed most.
