NASSCOM Foundation (NF) was established to leverage information and communication technologies (ICT) to empower and transform the lives of the underserved. NASSCOM and its members are committed to social development through the application of ICT. NF today has the unique opportunity of leading the IT Industry towards changing the social development landscape of India.

NASSCOM Foundation is a charity registered under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 and under Section 12A of Income Tax Act.  NF is the social development arm of NASSCOM (National Association of Software and Service Companies), the internationally recognized trade body of the Indian IT industry.

Over the last two decades, ICT has significantly impacted economic prosperity in the country. It has also been contributing towards social change. ICT facilitates knowledge sharing and helps generate employment, disperse skills and knowledge, and empower the common man. It also helps in expanding and enlarging the reach of social programs to all corners of the country at a much reduced cost.

NASSCOM Foundation (NF) is effectively harnessing ICT to spread knowledge, increase employability, eradicate poverty, bridge the gender divide, and dispel isolation.

NF has three cross-cutting functional areas – ICT for development, Technology Access Program and corporate social responsibility (CSR) within the IT industry.
