Atlanta, GA, April 4, 2025: Almost two years old, Keyurah LIFE, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, has made strides in empowering teens and women through mentorship, skill-building, and leadership development. With a mission centered on fostering growth, confidence, and opportunities, the organization aims to create a powerful platform dedicated to shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
For 2025, Keyurah LIFE is focused on strengthening teen empowerment by providing mentorship, life skills training, and internship placements in top-tier industries such as healthcare and IT. The nonprofit aims to equip young individuals with the knowledge and experience necessary to navigate challenges and set meaningful goals for their future.
“Our goal is to instill a growth mindset and create a pathway for success by connecting teens with mentors who inspire and guide them,” says Divya Anand, the founder of Keyurah LIFE. “We believe in empowering young minds to dream big and achieve their fullest potential.”
The organization is proud of its team of teen mentoring leaders, who serve as role models and catalysts for positive change. Among them is Ravi Guntupalli, the CTO of Cisco Provider Mobility Group, alongside Mohd Suleman Shaik, CEO and Co-founder of CodeRepo LLC, an award-winning IT consulting firm that has provided internship opportunities in AI. Additionally, mindfulness expert and co-founder Anand Radhakrishnan plays a crucial role in guiding and supporting young individuals on their journey toward self-discovery and success.
One of Keyurah LIFE’s recent initiatives has been focused on women’s empowerment through storytelling. Personal narratives serve as powerful tools of strength, hope, and motivation, reminding individuals of their ability to overcome obstacles and create meaningful change. This initiative fosters a sense of community, allowing women to connect through shared experiences and inspire one another.
“Every story is a testament to resilience and courage,” Divya Anand emphasizes. “When women come together to share their journeys, they ignite a ripple effect of empowerment and transformation.”
Beyond mentorship and leadership development, Keyurah LIFE is also committed to health advocacy. For 2025, the organization has identified Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) as its primary rare disease support and fundraiser initiative. With guidance from Dr. Vinitha Varghese, funds will be raised to assist underprivileged children in Bangalore, India, by covering treatment expenses and providing essential medical equipment such as wheelchairs. The initiative aims to alleviate financial burdens on families while ensuring that affected children receive the necessary medical attention and support.
Looking ahead, Keyurah LIFE remains committed to fostering an inclusive and compassionate society where every teen and woman has the resources to thrive. By focusing on mentorship, empowerment, and advocacy, the organization envisions a future filled with opportunities for growth and transformation.
“Our team is our greatest strength,” says Anand. “Together, we are creating ripples of kindness and compassion that will add up to an ocean of love for those in need.”
Keyurah LIFE was founded under the parent organization, Keyurah, led by Divya Anand, a research consultant specializing in oncology. With a deep passion for philanthropy, Anand has been actively involved in nonprofit leadership, including organizing TEDx events and contributing to various charitable organizations. Her artistic nature and dedication to nurturing young adults have fueled the mission of Keyurah LIFE.
“Keyurah LIFE is my passion project,” says Anand. “I truly believe that small acts of kindness can accumulate into something magnificent—an ocean of love for those in need.”
