Who We Are

The Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Foundation (RAAIF) is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2013 with a bold mission — to make robotics education accessible to every student in India, especially the underprivileged. We believe robotics is not just a subject.
It is a gateway to innovation, confidence, and future readiness. With one of the largest student populations in the world, India has the power to lead the next technological revolution. RAAIF exists to ensure our students are not just participants — but pioneers.

About the Founder
