Our Mission

We are committed to empowering girls and women in India. We provide a supportive network of resources that equips girls and women with the tools and opportunities needed to thrive.

Who We Are

Our Work

We operate under 3 pillars of focus to help girls and women realize their desired potential: education & skill building, foundational wellbeing, and empowerment through connections.

What We Do

In the Name

Nari means woman in Hindi. Our belief is that every girl and every woman is extraordinary and deserving of opportunities for self determination no matter her background. Thus our deeply meaningful play-on-cross-cultural words "ExtraordiNari" is born.

Our Beliefs are Core to Our Mission

"Every girl deserves the opportunity to thrive, and I am committed to making that a reality. Inspired by the resilience of countless women I've met around the world, I strive to build a global society in which girls are empowered to grow up into independent and free women."

~ Preeti Sikri, Founder
