Upword Foundation is a not-for-profit knowledge platform dedicated to public education and cultural renewal. Incorporated on August 13, 2018, under the Companies Act, 2013, the foundation creates well-researched, accessible content designed to deepen public understanding of Indian history, culture, and civilisational thought.
Our work spans a variety of formats—animated videos, podcasts, documentaries, infographics, and educational storybooks—crafted in collaboration with domain experts, scholars, and researchers. All content is made freely available through our website and major social media platforms, with the aim of reaching diverse audiences in India and across the world.
Upword is both an educational initiative and a civilisational movement. We seek to illuminate the richness of India’s cultural heritage and foster intellectual curiosity among learners of all ages. Our approach combines rigorous research with compelling storytelling to bridge the gap between tradition and contemporary understanding.
Since its inception, Upword Foundation has produced over 650 educational videos and infographics, engaging millions of viewers each month. Our growing community of supporters, volunteers, and collaborators plays a critical role in sustaining this mission and expanding its reach.
From classrooms and living rooms in India to curious minds overseas, Upword’s content continues to inspire those seeking knowledge, context, and connection to India’s enduring civilisational legacy.
