About The Convergence Foundation
TCF is a grant-making incubator foundation that was founded by Ashish Dhawan and Manisha Dhawan. We aim to transform the lives of citizens by enabling rapid and sustained economic growth via the efforts of building its pioneering institutions.
The founder of TCF, Mr Ashish Dhawan ran the biggest private equity firm, Chrys Capital, and after his exit from there, he started his philanthropic journey with Ashoka University. Later on, he went on to establish the CSF and with time he realized that there were a lot of other issues in the ecosystem that needed to be addressed and the best way to do so was by building organizations in those specific areas. TCF was built to institutionalize the functioning of those organizations. Currently, we are a network of 14 organizations, some of them have been founded by Ashish Dhawan himself while some have been incubated and accelerated by him.
