What we Believe
How it Started
Inspired by Mr. Vasant Nayak's Sight-to-Site initiative, Think Gudd was founded in 2019 with a simple yet powerful idea: to harness media for meaningful change. What began as a small team of passionate storytellers has since evolved into a dynamic community of changemakers.
The name "Gudd," meaning jaggery in various Indian languages, embodies sweetness, rawness, and purity—qualities that reflect our commitment to creating authentic and impactful stories. Our journey continues to be fueled by the inspiring work of non-profits and changemakers who motivate us every day.
