Fresh Eye Foundation is a non-profit that builds, backs and partners on products and services that improve people's lives.Education, health, skills, children and youth, human rights, the environment and more — wherever a good product or service can make a life better, we build it, back it, or help it reach the people who need it. Charitable in purpose. Practical in method. One test: does it improve lives?We began with education.
A student's learning depends on her health. Her family's health depends on their livelihood. Their livelihood depends on access to money, markets and technology. Every one of these runs on products and services — and far too many of them are missing, broken, unaffordable or built without listening to the people who use them.
"If it touches a human life, it deserves a product or service that is built well, delivered fairly and improved by the people it serves."
Fresh Eye Foundation was founded on a single conviction: the best way to improve lives at scale is to make good products and services easier to create, easier to trust and easier to reach.That is why we work across education, health, skills, children and youth, rights, the environment and more. We look at life as a whole — and ask where a fresh eye, a working product and a committed team can change what people experience every day.
We build our own initiatives where we see a gap no one is filling. We support other people's products and services where they are doing the work already. And wherever we operate, we hold ourselves to the same standard: useful, honest, respectful of people, and built to last.
These are the parts of life where we look for products and services worth building or backing. They follow the sectors our charter commits us to. Anything outside them, we do not take on.
Fresh Eye Foundation supports CatalystBox — a national education intelligence platform collecting anonymous QR-based feedback from students, teachers, and parents, processed through an AI analytics engine to generate the CatalystBox Benchmark Index.
The CBI is a composite school quality score designed to sit alongside UDISE+ and ASER data in board-level policy conversations. It operationalises NEP 2020's mandates on holistic education, student wellbeing, and data-driven governance — dimensions that exam scores alone cannot capture.
28,000+ CBSE and CISCE schools are in the directory. Pilot schools are being activated. Board-level dashboards are live. It is proof of how we work: pick a part of life, build the thing, and make it useful.
Explore CatalystBoxFresh Eye Foundation is supporting Joir, a dating and marriage app for people who are looking for a life partner. Instead of swiping on photos, each person says two honest things: what they bring to a relationship, and what they need from a partner.
Joir matches on those answers, so people meet others whose strengths and needs genuinely fit — a calmer, more intentional route to a lasting relationship. Its promise is simple: "You just need the One!"
Strong families begin with relationships built on honesty and fit. We support Joir because most apps in this space reward attention, not compatibility. Joir is being designed around the Foundation's privacy standard — collect only what the product needs, with the DPDP Act 2023 as the floor.
Joir is in early design. We will announce what is live when it is live, and not before.

Fresh Eye Foundation is a non-profit for building and backing products and services across education, health, skills and the other sectors in our charter. We look at where people are underserved, where good work is already happening, and where a committed team, the right technology and a fresh way of seeing can make the difference. Then we build it, back it, or help it reach the people who need it. Wide in scope. Disciplined in standards.
"The name is the idea. A fresh eye sees what familiarity has made invisible."
Familiarity dulls perception. Products stay unchanged because "that's how it has always been done." Services stay out of reach because no one asked who was left out. Whole parts of life go underserved because they sit between sectors, and nobody's job covers them.
A fresh eye is what changes that. Not a report. Not a ranking. A willingness to look at any part of life — learning, health, skills, the environment, community — and ask plainly: what product or service would actually make this better, and who is best placed to build it?
The biggest opportunities to improve lives are rarely inside one sector. They live between them. Fresh Eye Foundation is built to work there.
We began in education and learned something that applies everywhere: the people who use a product or service know more about what is broken than the people who run it — and the best products are built by listening to them. That lesson is not specific to schools. It holds for a clinic, a marketplace, a community service, a financial tool.
So we built a foundation, not a single product. One that can start, support and scale products and services wherever people need them most — with the same care for people and the same honesty about results. That is what Fresh Eye Foundation is for.
Because our scope is wide, our standards have to be firm. These are operating rules, not slogans. Every product we build and every service we support passes through them.
Every product and service we touch must make life better for the people who use it. If it does not serve them — their dignity, safety, access and trust — we do not build it and we do not back it.
We collect only what a product needs. Where anonymity is the promise — as in CatalystBox — it is a permanent design choice, not a current limitation. The DPDP Act 2023 is the legal floor; our standard sits higher, especially wherever children are involved.
We never inflate numbers, overstate reach or claim capabilities we have not built. When we have ten pilot schools, we say ten. Trust from institutions, partners and funders can only rest on radical honesty about what we have and have not achieved.
Everything we build or back must serve our charitable objects and the public good. Surplus is reinvested in the mission, never paid out. Each initiative must be useful, lawful, safe and sustainable — and we say no to what does not meet that bar, however attractive.
We build for adoption and longevity, not for headlines. The best outcome is a product or service so useful that it becomes part of how people and institutions simply get things done.
Life's problems do not queue. We prove one initiative while scoping the next, building while planning, learning while operating — at the pace a country of 1.4 billion people needs.
We chose education as our starting point because the need is clear, the scale is vast and the lesson carries over. Once the model is proven, we take the same discipline — listen, build, measure, scale — into the other areas of work in our charter where products and services are most needed.
We are not defined by one product, one sector or one technology. CatalystBox is our first initiative, not our limit.
We build, back and partner on products and services across the sectors in our charter — from learning to livelihood to wellbeing — guided by one test: does it improve lives?
We do not publish reports for their own sake or offer advisory retainers. We build the actual thing — working software, real services, live systems.
We create our own initiatives where the gap is clear, and we support other teams where good work is already underway — with technology, guidance and access.
We will never sell individual-level data, respondent-identifiable records, or any dataset that could be used to profile, target, or penalise specific people. Our work is built on trust, not on selling raw data.
We choose what we build and back on merit, not on who pays. We report honestly on what works and what does not, and we answer to the people our products and services are meant to serve.
We work with people who share the conviction that the right product or service, built well, can change a life. If your idea or organisation works in education, health, skills, the environment or another area we support, we would like to hear from you.
