Recall those lines of Anne Isabella Thackeray Ritchie in 1885, widely quoted by policymakers and development professionals all over the world: "If you give a man a fish, he is hungry again in an hour. If you teach him to catch a fish, you do him a good turn." Over the years, the policymakers also added, "He will be richer all his life" or "That will feed him for a lifetime.".

We, at Beggars Corporation, are implementing that principle in letter and spirit. Instead of donating and making the poor dependent on our mercy, we are trying to break both the Poverty Trap and the Begging Trap by turning beggars into entrepreneurs. Besides earning with dignity, they send their children to school, take care of their families, and contribute to the state exchequer through GST. Not only that, the BTEs also become owners of wealth as Shareholders in their ventures, along with their Mentors and Social Investors.

Don't Donate, Invest. Turn them from Daanjeevi to Karmajeevi. Earn Profit with Purpose.

According to the economists, Beggars Corporation is the only organization in the world that works for the extreme poor, but NOT AN NGO. Incorporated on August 12, 2022, as a For-Profit company, and recognised by DPIIT, Government of India, as a Social Impact Startup, it introduces an innovative model called PROFIT WITH PURPOSE.

To turn it into a socio-economic re-evolution, it connects well-off citizens to invest in the ventures of the beggars under its ONE BEGGAR, ONE MENTOR #OBOM programme. On June 30, 2023, it launched Citizens for Begging Free India #CBFI to involve its Social Investors and Member Customers directly in this mission. The CBFI was dedicated to the nation, #Rashtrarpan, jointly by economist Dr. Sreevas Sahasranam from the United Kingdom and Padmashree Dr. Rajnikant from Varanasi.

Working on a roadmap to make India begging-free by 2035, Beggars Corporation is not just another startup, but a symbol of Collective Conscience of society. Don't just witness or appreciate; "Be the Change You Wish to See."
