We are the parents, family members, and friends of Advaitha, a bright young soul whose life was tragically cut short in the turbulent waters of Pawna Lake near Pune.

While this pain is deeply personal, it speaks to a larger, urgent truth—each day, someone, somewhere, loses their life to drowning. These incidents are often brushed off as routine, occupying a small corner in newspapers. But for those who have lost a child, sibling, or friend, it is not just an incident—it is a lifetime of pain.

Born of Love and Loss

Out of our pain, we have built a purpose:
The Hemant Bala Advaitha Foundation is our way of channelling grief into meaningful action.

We want to remind young people that their lives matter, not just to themselves but to their families, friends, and society. In the rush of youth and thrill-seeking, that truth is often forgotten. But we want them to live—to realize their dreams and to find fulfilment.

For Advaitha. For every child. For every life.
