About SaveLIFE Foundation

 

SaveLIFE Foundation (SLF) is on a mission to save lives on roads across India. Since 2012, over

1.5 million people have been killed in road crashes in India and close to 5 million have been left

seriously injured or permanently disabled. Besides the insurmountable emotional trauma that

thousands of families must suffer each year, road crashes deal a crushing economic blow to

many families.

 

SLF is a fast-growing, specialised organisation with a proven track-record of delivering large-scale

impact. We are best known for getting India its Good Samaritan Law and developing the

“Zero-Fatality Corridor” solution to transform dangerous highways into “safeways”.  

 

We are registered as a not-for-profit organisation to ensure complete mission alignment.

Our teams work in a creative environment to build novel solutions and thrive on problem solving.

Over the last 15 years we have built unique strengths in areas such as forensic investigation of

crashes, data analytics and predictive modeling, safety design and engineering, public policy

formulation, and strategic communication and training. We strive for excellence in everything we

do and build leaders through opportunity and mentorship.
