Testimonials

Support During Crisis

It was absolutely a pleasure to work with Samvad Foundation. When we requested support during the cyclone in Ratnagiri immediately after the first wave of COVID, Samvad mobilized resources to assist many cyclone and COVID-hit villages. They walk the talk.

Championing Rights

Samvad is an organization truly working for people's rights. When someone broke into my office and took my laptop, the police refused to file an FIR. Samvad intervened and ensured the police not only registered the FIR but also took action.

Impactful POSH Workshops

Adv. Basanti Negi's full-day workshop organized for corporate professionals under the HRPA was absolutely remarkable and helped us gain deeper insights into why creating a sexual harassment-free workplace is essential for sustainable business.
