A Message from Our Chairman,
Shankar A. Virkar
"Namaskar,"
For over a decade, the Nagoba Foundation has been more than just an organization; it has been a family for the people of Mira Bhayandar. When we started this journey, our goal was simple: to ensure that while our city grows and modernizes, our cultural roots remain deep and our community remains protected.
Whether it is the vibrant energy of our annual Navratri Utsav or the daily efforts to improve the safety of our streets in Ward 10, every initiative we take is fueled by your trust. My daughter, Akanksha, and our entire team are committed to serving you with transparency and dedication.
Our website is a digital step toward making our foundation more accessible. I invite you to join us—not just as spectators, but as partners in building a safer, cleaner, and culturally richer Mira Bhayandar.
Together, let’s continue to strengthen the bonds of Culture, Community, and Connection.
— Shankar A. Virkar
