About Us

Dr. Pillai, Founder of Tripura Foundation, teaches that compassion is the highest form of intelligence—a path to accelerated evolution. By embracing compassion, we unlock our innate power to alleviate suffering for ourselves and others. This path is simple yet profoundly transformative.

Tripura Foundation was created to bring this core principle of Dr. Pillai’s teachings to life. Through your love and generosity, you have the power to bring hope and relief to those enduring extreme poverty. And in giving selflessly, you welcome the profound benefits of compassion, creating a ripple of joy, healing, and transformation for all.

Our Vision and Mission

Founded in 1989, Tripura Foundation is dedicated to uplifting children through transformative education and providing Food for All. Guided by our vision of a world filled with joy, compassion, and love, we believe every child has the potential to thrive—and that no one should go hungry. Our Mission is to help every child realize their potential and end hunger and suffering.

Through Phonemic Intelligence (PI), an educational technology created by Dr. Pillai, we empower young minds by enhancing intelligence, emotional resilience, and compassion in just 7 minutes a day. With proven results in over 250,000 children, PI is transforming education and shaping future leaders worldwide. We partner with schools, governments, and NGOs to bring this breakthrough learning tool to communities everywhere.

Since its founding in 1989, Tripura Foundation has touched lives across India, the USA, Mexico, Haiti, the Philippines, South Africa, and Ghana—bringing education, nourishment, and empowerment to those in need.
