To live in a developed country, we need to build a developed society”, says philanthropist and business man Ajay Bagdi

Nagpur’s renowned Philanthropist, social activist, farmer, and entrepreneur, Mr. Ajay Bagdi has great thoughts about the development of the society. Mr. Bagdi has been actively working with his own NGO, The Power of One Welfare Foundation since 2015. Born in a place where he never faced any issues financially, he used to be a person who had a different perspective for the society.

It was the time when he was pursuing his bachelors in commerce, he found out about the conditions and inequality that people in the society are facing. He is a man of action and on that day, he pledged to change things for good. While studying in Kanpur, he learned about a lot of norms and societal pressure that the people around him were facing. Mr. Ajay Bagdi says some of the stories were so sad that it moved something inside him. That was a time when he dreamt of becoming a philanthropist and change the society, step by step.

After completing his studies, Mr. Bagdi excelled in his business in agriculture, IT industry, hospitality, and construction. Throughout his journey, he has always been thoughtful and kind enough to the needy. He strongly believes in young minds and talents, which is the main reason he has been giving out jobs to freshers and giving them a chance to prove themselves. After settling his business, he decided to move his focus to the society.

The Power of One Welfare foundation was founded by Mr. Bagdi and his wife, Mrs. Shilpi Bagdi. Mr. Bagdi is a dedicated family man, who became a man responsible for his society after starting his own NGO. The objective behind starting his own NGO was the urge to do something for the society. With strong beliefs of making a change and mobilizing his efforts for spreading awareness about social causes, Mr. Bagdi started his journey. The Power of One started with distributing food, clothes, books, and fulfilling other requirements for the needy. The foundation believes, when there is food in your belly, there will be ideas and a will to work harder in your mind. Mr Bagdi dedicates all of his merits to his wife. He says she is a better-half for him in every way. From handling business to social work to his health, she takes care of every aspect in his life.

In the wake of Covid-19, while the entire world was in lockdown and everyone was thinking about their safety, Power of One went ahead and distributed food and helped many needful people to reach home. In the year 2020, Power of One focused on one of the main issues that has been constantly affecting the society. Mr. Bagdi believes for a better society one needs to have a better mind. And that is why he decided to host a mental health campaign every week. He took an initiative to collaborate with psychiatrists in the city and provided free counseling to young adults. He cogitates that it’s the young adults who are the pillars of the society and they need to be stronger to live in a developed country. He has been constantly working hard to effectuate all of his dreams and he is convinced that the change is meant to happen from his constant efforts!
