“Many ask me why 'Beyond Intent'? I always mention two things in my response – We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give! What we give can certainly make a difference to someone! We at 'Beyond Intent' are committed to making that difference, however small it is, through our intent which is based on - ideas, projects and actions! Secondly, with 'Beyond Intent', you don’t have to be in India to help India.
