Our work

Two initiatives, one idea: build people and the places they come from.

IM Skilling

Meeting India's Makers. We train unemployed youth and working people from village and tribal communities in high-demand trades — practical, hands-on training delivered where people are.

Every candidate's journey is recorded — enrolment, attendance, assessment — and every certificate we issue is digitally verifiable, so an employer or funder can check any claim independently.

IM Conserving

Our first conservation commitment is the Sri Ranganatha Swamy Temple at Rangasthala, Chikkaballapur — a sacred landscape of Hoysala–Vijayanagara architecture with a rare 24-sided Chakra Tirtha stepwell.

Under the Government of Karnataka's Namma Smaraka "Adopt a Monument" scheme, IM Nirmaan Foundation is a co-adopter and CSR patron of the restoration, in partnership with the Department of Archaeology, Museums and Heritage, alongside co-adopter Discovery Village, with execution by Culkey Foundation under the Department's supervision.

The work is phased and ongoing: reviving the stepwell's historic water system, conserving stonework, developing the landscape and visitor amenities — with quarterly progress reporting throughout.
