Openings

Milaap is India’s largest crowdfunding platform for personal and social causes. Our mission is to make it easier for people to raise money online for the needs and causes that matter to them, their loved ones, their neighborhood and larger community.
Our community of donors and fundraisers come from 130+ countries across the world and have raised over INR 300 Crores for 100,000 unique campaigns and projects across India. Over the  last seven years, Milaap has become the preferred platform for people to raise and contribute towards causes they care about in India.
We’re changing the way people think about giving. Not that long ago, giving was just restricted to a large NGO or charity.  We’ve flipped the context of giving from donating to an organisation to directly helping an individual, a friend/colleague/family member or even a stranger, when they need the most. Whether it’s a medical emergency, sports athlete, or an animal shelter, we use technology to enable people share their authentic stories and receive support.
