Founders Story
Second Sky was founded by two sisters who have always strongly believed in giving back to society in whatever way possible. What began as small conversations around creating meaningful change gradually evolved into a larger vision — to build an initiative that could create impact on a bigger scale while bringing together people who share the same mindset and values.
The idea behind Second Sky was born from an immense sense of responsibility and empathy towards the community. Beyond creating meaningful initiatives for children and underserved communities, the founders also wanted to build a community of compassionate individuals who are passionate about making a difference. Through Second Sky, they hope to provide people with opportunities to contribute, collaborate, and create positive impact in society together.
Founders Note
Ishita Banthia
Founder
Her journey with social work began during school through small volunteering efforts that stayed with her long after they ended.
At NMIMS, she started Social Sundays at Elcity Club — a space that brought students together to work closely with communities and learn through real human connection.
Over the years, she has worked with and reached 2,000+ children through different initiatives and community drives. As a tGELF Youth Leader, and in collaboration with ICICI, she also helped organise free eye check-ups for government school students.
Second Sky comes from the belief that even the smallest effort can make someone feel seen, supported, and hopeful again.
Suchi Banthia
Co-Founder
For Suchi, the idea of helping people began quietly during her school years through volunteering at old age homes and orphanages — spaces that taught her empathy, gratitude, and the importance of simply being present for someone.
She believes that kindness never goes unnoticed, and that the good we put into the world eventually finds its way back as peace, purpose, and eternal bliss.
Second Sky comes from that belief — that sometimes this world may not offer everyone the comfort, care, or opportunities they deserve, and so we must come together to create a second sky for them.
Because sometimes, all someone needs is a second chance, a second voice, or a second sky.
