Building economic opportunity in the North and East
Our commitment to creating lasting social impact through venture creation and ecosystem development.
The Challenge
For decades, talent from Jaffna, Kilinochchi, and Batticaloa has left to build careers elsewhere. We're changing that. Nanthi exists to prove that world-class companies can be built from the North and East—and that doing so creates a multiplier effect.
Our Approach
Every company we launch creates jobs, attracts capital, trains the next generation of founders, and signals to the world that this region is open for business.
Economic Development
Create high-quality employment in regions with limited opportunity and keep talent rooted in their communities instead of forcing migration.
Infrastructure Building
Build technical, financial, and social infrastructure for the next 100 startups to launch from the region.
Diaspora Investment
Demonstrate that the diaspora can invest in the region, not just extract from it, creating sustainable capital flows.
Ecosystem Growth
Build the North and East's equivalent of the PayPal Mafia—where today's founders become tomorrow's mentors and investors.
How We Measure Impact
We measure impact in founder success, yes—but also in the ecosystem we're building. When our first cohort of founders exits, we want them to stay. To mentor. To invest. To create the next generation of opportunity.
This isn't charity. It's capitalism with a conscience. Profitable companies that change the trajectory of a region.
