Jugal Kishore Pattnayak
Jugal Kishore Pattnayak’s journey began in the 1990s in Odisha’s tribal belts, where structured fundraising was non-existent. Starting as a team leader at the NGO FARR, he walked village to village in impoverished districts like Kalahandi and Nuapada, building partnerships from scratch based purely on trust. His breakthrough came in 2004 when he founded the Mahashakti Foundation, transforming from a local social worker into a master of resource mobilization. By connecting global corporate donors with local tribal needs, he created sustainable livelihoods for over 35,000 households. Today, he is recognized as one of Odisha's most successful fundraisers, proving that starting at the grassroots can ultimately attract millions in global investment for social change.
