We are social impact enablers & catalysts who help foster partnerships between Corporates, compliant NGOs, Patient Advocacy Groups (PAGs), Healthcare & subject matter experts to support awareness & prevention of rare diseases. One of our key focus areas is to help raise funds for treatment of SMA affected patients in India.
IMPS is a non profit initiative, inspired by the journey of a young girl, Keya Hatkar, who was diagnosed with SMA at the age of 10 months. Keya was given only 2 years to live.
Today, in spite of living with 80% physical disability, Keya is a nationally acclaimed author of two best-selling books –
DANCING ON MY WHEELS
and
I M POSSIBLE!
Keya believes "I M POSSIBLE!" and inspires many others to do so.

When a child or an adult is diagnosed with a rare disease, their journey starts on an impossible and hopeless note.
Our mission is to first help the affected families transform this IMPOSSIBLE! mindset to an I M POSSIBLE! one.

We believe all of us are able in some ways and not able in many. Key is to focus on our abilities and not on our disabilities . This will help each one get good at something and in turn enable them thrive in life, despite their challenges.
