About Kakatiya Sandbox
Kakatiya Sandbox (KS) is inspired by Deshpande Foundation’s Hubli Sandbox. It’s set-up under the patronage of
Mr. Raju Reddy (Founder, Sierra Atlantic) and Mr. Phanindra Sama (Founder, redBus.in) in 2013 to work on
socio-economic development of Nizamabad, Karimnagar and Medak districts in the state of Telangana.
KS is a living laboratory for a diverse range of entrepreneurs and development practitioners to come together and
work on pressing social challenges of the local population. We believe that development in the 21st century for
India’s emerging economy will be ushered in through collaboration, of a bottom-up grassroots entrepreneurial
movement and a top-down structured approach to problem-solving. Over the last 6 years, the remarkable
partnerships in Sandbox have evolved into exemplary successes impacting about 5,00,000 people in rural Telangana.
