Future Tech Foundation

For all of Kerala.

A Kerala-registered NGO for awareness, education, research and innovation in AI, robotics and emerging technologies, for everyone, not only the tech industry.

Where knowledge meets opportunity.

  • Educational programmes
  • Public awareness
  • Collaborative projects
  • Mentorship
  • Institutional partnerships

Future Tech Foundation is a technology-focused social initiative committed to advancing education, digital inclusion, innovation, research and community development.

We aim to create a collaborative ecosystem where knowledge meets opportunity, emerging technologies become more accessible, and people from diverse backgrounds can take part in shaping the future.

Through educational programmes, public awareness initiatives, collaborative projects, mentorship and institutional partnerships, we help individuals and communities understand technology and use it to create positive social change.

Our work spans artificial intelligence, digital and emerging technologies, research, entrepreneurship and technology for social good. We are a young NGO: AI Connect Keralam is already running, and the rest of our programmes are being built with members, fellows and partners.

What we stand for.

Five values guide every programme, partnership and decision the Foundation makes.

Accountable to members.

Where the work lands.

Labs, campuses, rooftops and public transport: the places where our programmes put new technology to work.

How the Foundation handles money and property, straight from the Bye-Laws.

Audited every year.

Funds are used only for the Foundation’s lawful objectives and are audited every year by a qualified auditor.

Joint accounts.

Bank accounts are operated jointly by two authorised office bearers.

Reported to members.

Audited accounts and the annual report are placed before the General Body.

Never for private gain.

Foundation property is never used for personal purposes, and its assets are never distributed among members.
