About us
Purpose Meets Practice
At Kyezne, we believe that meaningful change happens when vision is matched with execution. We are a social impact enabler — building bridges between corporate CSR goals and grassroots NGO action through structured, transparent, and value-aligned partnerships.
Why We Exist?
The CSR ecosystem in India is vibrant, yet fragmented. Many corporates struggle to find credible partners. Many NGOs lack the capacity or visibility to access funding. We're here to change that — by curating collaboration, enhancing compliance, and ensuring every rupee spent delivers real-world outcomes.
What We Do?
We offer a full-stack CSR enablement platform that includes:
- Strategic advisory and program design
- Verified NGO matchmaking
- Proposal and documentation support
- Impact measurement and storytelling
- Compliance facilitation for both sides
Whether you're a corporate CSR leader aiming for ESG-aligned reporting or an NGO seeking long-term funding, Kyezne is your partner in navigating complexity with clarity.
Who We Work With?
Our network spans corporate CSR departments, philanthropic foundations, and grassroots NGOs working across sectors like education, healthcare, environment, and livelihood. We understand the language of both boardrooms and the field — and that’s what makes us effective.
Our Approach: Co-Create, Not Outsource and Our Impact Vision
We don't believe in top-down CSR. Instead, we work alongside both corporates and NGOs to co-create programs that are community-informed, compliant, and impactful. Our name, Kyezne (meaning "KYE: a call to rejoice, to grow, to rise and ZNE: a reminder to carry zero negative energy."), reflects our commitment to evolving CSR beyond obligation — into opportunity.
We envision a future where every corporate rupee invested in CSR leads to lasting systemic change — and every credible NGO has the tools, visibility, and support to scale their impact.
Why Choose Kyezne?
Kyezne bridges the critical gap between corporates and grassroots NGOs, offering transparent, compliant, and purpose-driven collaboration. Here’s how we stand apart:
The Challenge
- 90% of NGOs face CSR funding access barriers due to incomplete compliance.
- 71% of corporates report difficulty identifying credible, aligned NGOs for CSR initiatives.
- 68% of partnerships lack structured impact reporting and long-term value.

Our Promise
Kyezne empowers both corporates and NGOs with:
- Transparent, end-to-end CSR lifecycle management.
- Real-time visibility into social impact metrics.
- Compliance-first practices that build trust.
- Scalable partnerships rooted in shared purpose.
