Money

  • This website has no advertising and no sponsored posts. If an affiliate or sponsored link ever appears, it will be labelled.
  • Every paid engagement is confirmed in writing, and the confirmation states who is being paid.
  • This website does not take donations. Donations go only to Marpu Foundation, through marpu.org, which issues receipts.
  • Raghu will never ask anyone to send a donation or a fee to a personal bank account or UPI ID through social media. If someone claims to do so in his name, write to hi@kadiriraghuvamsi.com before paying.

Conflicts of interest

  • When Raghu advises a company or institution that might choose Marpu Foundation or OurVolunteer.com as a partner, he says so in writing at the start. The client is free to choose any partner.
  • On juries, he declares any connection to an entrant and steps out of the decision on that entry.
  • When he writes about a company or organisation he has worked with, the article says so.

Politics

Marpu Foundation is nonpartisan and does not take part in political activity. Raghu’s public policy and political advisory is his own work, in his personal capacity, and is open to representatives across the political spectrum.

Figures and honours

Figures about Marpu Foundation are the foundation’s own reported figures, with the year. Honours received by Marpu Foundation are labelled as such and are not presented as personal awards. See recognition.
