Akshayakalpa originated from the Youva Chethna Program. This program, which ran from in 2001 to 2009, encouraged people from urban areas to teach young people and women in rural regions about agriculture and farming for their vocation of choice.
Nine techies, including Akshayakalpa co-founder and managing director Shashi Kumar and his friends Venkatesh Seshasayee, Ranjith Mukundan, Ravishankar Shiroor, Ramakrishna Adukuri, Praveen Nale, Giridhar Bhat, Ramkumar Iyer and Mohammed Ashraf, then working, were some of the earliest contributors to the Youva Chethana Program.
Akshayakalpa was registered as a company on October 2, 2010. The above-mentioned contributors seed funded into Akshayakalpa in November the same year. The initiative was also crowdfunded by several other employees of Wipro Technologies.
