Who founded it, what it was set up to do, and what stage it is at.
About
Velumic Foundation brings three causes — deep-technology education, animal and ecological welfare, and heritage preservation — under a single charitable charter, because each depends on the same thing: people willing to build something that outlasts them. What follows is the legal and organisational detail behind that idea — read it, because a foundation asking for your trust should show its work.
Velumic Foundation was incorporated as a Section 8 company under the Companies Act, 2013 — a legal form reserved for companies formed to promote charitable objects, which cannot distribute profit to its members and carries limited liability for those who founded it. Its registered office is in Uttar Pradesh, and its objects extend to the whole of India.

Our vision
We believe a country's future is built the same way its past is preserved: patiently, precisely, and by people who refuse to let good work go unfinished. Velumic Foundation exists to put that belief into practice — training the scientists India's next decade will need, giving the animals and land around us the care they cannot ask for themselves, and keeping the knowledge our grandparents' generation carried from disappearing before anyone thought to write it down.
Our mission
Our mission is simple to say and hard to do: build institutions — laboratories, shelters, archives — that outlast the people who start them, and open every one of them to anybody willing to learn, to help, or to remember.
- Founding directors
- Velumic Foundation was founded by Anita Mishra and Ravi Prakash Mishra, based in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh.
- Share capital
- Velumic Foundation has an authorised share capital of ₹1,00,000, divided into 10,000 equity shares of ₹10 each. This is a company-law structure, not a donation fund or a fundraising target — under Section 8, none of it can be paid out to members as profit; it exists only to establish the company's legal form.
