Our Story
Velagapudi Trust was formed in 2020 to create a paradigm shift in serving the needs of the our community, in the areas of Wellness, Education, and Elderly care. The trust is the brainchild of Raj Velagapudi, an Indian IT entrepreneur in the Silicon Valley, who has been involved in active social work and community outreach over the last 15 years
Raj has personally supported many community projects ranging from building schools and temples to organizing health camps both in India and USA. Inspired by his parents Sri.Uma Maheshwara Rao and Mrs.Vijayalakshmi, his personal passion finally took a concrete shape with the formation of the trust in 2020.
