Who We Are

Rekhta Foundation, a registered nonprofit social impact organization; established in 2012, is devoted to promoting language & literature of the Indian subcontinent and preserving its rich & varied cultural heritage. The foundation perceives its role as a catalyst in revitalizing cultural sensitivity in contemporary times.

Over the past decade, the Foundation has built a comprehensive digital ecosystem, including a Digital Library with over 3,22,415 eBooks (and counting), 15 websites and apps, 5 digital archives, and the preservation of more than 54M+ pages of literary content. What began with the launch of www.rekhta.org—now the world’s largest online repository of Urdu language and literature—has evolved into a global platform with readers in over 230+ countries and a rapidly growing community of literature lovers.

Know More

The same model of digital preservation and promotion pioneered by Rekhta has been extended to other Indian languages through platforms like www.hindwi.org, www.rekhtagujarati.org, www.anjas.org, and www.sufinama.org.

A trilingual Rekhta Dictionary, Hindwi Dictionary, Rekhta Learning, Qaafiya Dictionary, and Taqti were also developed as learning platforms for all language enthusiasts. Extending its global footprint, the Foundation introduced Jashn-e-Rekhta, the world’s largest festival dedicated to a language, to London and Dubai, establishing its presence on the global stage. The Foundation continues to set new benchmarks in the field of innovation, corporate social responsibility and cultural stewardship.
