Investment Philosophy

The Cyrus and Priya Vandrevala Foundation is a non-profit organization that is run like a for-profit business. Our focus is on maximizing “profits” - however these are social profits not economic gains.

The Foundation often supports entrepreneurial, social projects which local governments are not able or willing to provide funding. We consider these types of organizations “start-ups” with the ability to become successful with proper financing and support. These organizations often receive funding from us and are later able to secure additional funding from local governments as well as support for implementation on a national level.
