We Don’t Give Fish But Teach People How to Fish
Radha Goenka is a philanthropist, writer, and mother dedicated to empowering women, youth, and children through education and vocational training for meaningful employment.
In 2008, she entered the social sector, driven by the stark gap between private and government schools. Recognizing the need for a program tailored to first-generation learners, she designed an approach that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and communication skills.
Fueled by her belief that the right education in the right environment can transform lives, she founded Pehlay Akshar Foundation to equip students with Functional English and essential life skills.
With a degree in Business Communication from the University of Pennsylvania and extensive experience in the social sector, Radha has shaped and expanded impactful programs, making them a driving force in her mission to enhance employability and transform lives across India.
