Our Founder

Aabha Kapuria is a postgraduate in Social Work from the prestigious Delhi School of Social Work, where her journey of meaningful community engagement truly began. During her coursework, she was placed with Deepalaya, an experience that deeply shaped her understanding of grassroots social development under the guidance of inspiring professors and mentors. She also worked extensively at Karpoori Thakur Camp, immersing herself within the community and leading a women’s empowerment initiative that encouraged entrepreneurship and self-reliance among women. Alongside this, she trained for a year with the counselling department at The Mother’s International School, gaining valuable insight into emotional wellbeing and child development.

 

Soon after her education, she married her high school sweetheart and embraced life in a close-knit joint family. With four generations living together, family life became her greatest teacher — nurturing adaptability, compassion, patience, and sensitivity towards people across generations. Even while raising a family, she continued pursuing meaningful initiatives through her venture Mydomain, focusing on upcycling, creative learning, and progressive educational experiences for children.

 

As she watched her own parents age, Aabha experienced a profound realization — how deeply she still depended on their wisdom, guidance, and emotional strength. Yet she also saw them gradually withdrawing from active participation in life, often unaware of how valued and needed they truly were. This stirred a strong conviction within her: senior citizens must never feel invisible. They are reservoirs of wisdom, experience, resilience, and perspective — treasures that society cannot afford to overlook.

 

This thought gave birth to HCF — a platform rooted in dignity, gratitude, inclusion, and purpose. HCF was envisioned as a reminder to senior citizens that they matter, that their voice still carries immense value, and that their wisdom must continue to guide communities and future generations. Rather than allowing this rich pool of experience to fade quietly into the background, HCF seeks to channel it into meaningful social impact.

 

While ideating with her children, one word repeatedly emerged in every conversation — care. The family’s professional roots stem from The Hi Tech Group, and together they wanted to express a simple yet powerful sentiment: We Care. From this came the name — The Hi Tech Cares Foundation (HCF).

 

The philosophy behind the name carries an even deeper meaning. Much like the “Highest Common Factor” in mathematics represents the common element shared by all numbers, HCF believes that the highest common factor among all human beings is care — care for people, care for community, care for nature, and care for one another.
