About Me

I’m Vaibhav Pandya, a Chartered Accountant & Company Secretary , an avid marathoner and ultra-runner. Running has taught me the power of discipline, perseverance, and community—and I now hope to channel that spirit beyond the running track.

Through the Tata Steel Kolkata 25K Philanthropy initiative, I’m raising funds to support Friends of Tribals Society (FTS) – Ekal Vidyalaya, which works towards bringing education and holistic development to children in rural and underserved communities.

Every contribution, big or small, can help create an opportunity for a child to learn, grow and dream bigger. I invite you to join me in turning every kilometre we run into a step towards a brighter future.

Our Appeal

Run for Education. Run for a Brighter Future.

This year, I am running to support FTS and its One Teacher School (OTS) / Ekal Vidyalaya, which provides non-formal primary education to children aged 4–14 years in underserved communities. Each school typically reaches around 20 children through three-hour classes, helping them build a strong foundation for learning. Beyond education, Ekal Vidyalaya provides five-fold development—primary education, health care, development, awareness, and sanskar education. Your support can help bring learning, opportunity, and hope closer to children who need it most. Join me in this run and help make every step count towards a brighter future.
