TrustCircle x Piramal Foundation: A Landmark Partnership to Transform Student Well-Being Across India
At TrustCircle, every step of our journey has been grounded in a single belief: mental and emotional well-being is foundational to learning, living, and thriving. What began as a deeply personal mission—sparked by the silent adversity faced by our founder's brother, Salil—has now evolved into a global movement, reaching schools, classrooms, and students across continents.
Today, we're proud to announce a landmark partnership with the Piramal Foundation and its flagship initiative, the Piramal School of Leadership (PSL)—a collaboration that will scale this mission across India's most vulnerable and underserved communities, reaching millions of K–12 students, educators, and education leaders.
Two Missions, One Purpose
Founded with the belief that servant leadership and systemic transformation can solve India's most pressing challenges, the Piramal Foundation has spent decades uplifting rural and marginalized communities through health, education, and social innovation. The Piramal School of Leadership specifically works to strengthen school leadership, empower educators, and bring about whole-system change in the public education ecosystem.
At TrustCircle, we built the world's first scientifically designed, multilingual digital platform to enable students, teachers, and education systems to track, understand, and improve emotional well-being—integrating Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) at scale. Our technology bridges the emotional gap that often goes unaddressed in education, empowering students to be seen, heard, and supported—every single day.
A Shared Vision for Systemic Change
This partnership was born from a shared conviction:
Emotional well-being is not a luxury—it is a necessity.
Both organizations understand that for true educational equity to exist, students in the last-mile—those in rural, tribal, and under-resourced schools—must have access not only to academic tools but to emotional tools as well.
Together, we are embedding TrustCircle's digital SEL platform into PSL's extensive field ecosystem, allowing for consistent emotional check-ins, personalized insights, and holistic development for students and educators alike.
This is not about isolated activities or temporary programs. This is about building emotional intelligence and resilience into the DNA of India's education system.
Value for Students, Educators, and Stakeholders
Through this partnership:
- Students will have a safe, non-judgmental space to explore, express, and understand their emotions—laying the foundation for empathy, focus, and lifelong resilience.
- Educators and ICT coordinators will be empowered with data-driven insights and easy-to-implement SEL tools that enrich classroom culture and student engagement.
- District and State-level leaders will gain visibility into the emotional well-being of their schools, allowing for smarter, more compassionate decision-making that prioritizes the whole child.
We're enabling a repeatable, scalable, and inclusive model for SEL that doesn't just support students—it empowers the entire education ecosystem to thrive.
A Global Movement with Local Heart
While this partnership is rooted in India, its impact will be global.
As we scale our model in collaboration with PSL, we are building a proof of possibility—demonstrating how SEL can be embedded across entire systems, even in the most resource-constrained settings. This will inspire education systems worldwide to rethink how mental wellness can be scaled, digitized, and sustained.
With every school we reach, we reaffirm our mission:
To ensure that no student, anywhere in the world, feels invisible, unheard, or unsupported.
Looking Ahead
We believe this partnership marks a turning point in how mental wellness and education come together in service of human potential. It's a bold vision—and one we are proud to share with the Piramal Foundation and Piramal School of Leadership.
Together, we are not just expanding our footprint.
We are expanding hope.
We are scaling compassion.
We are building a generation ready—not just for exams, but for life.
Stay tuned as we share stories from classrooms across Odisha, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, and beyond—where quiet transformations are unfolding, one emotion at a time. 💙
