What We Do

Aditya Mehta Foundation (AMF) is a non-profit organisation which aids people with disabilities to pursue sports while providing self-sustenance.

The Foundation was started in October 2013, and has grown by leaps and bounds in a short span. Based out of Hyderabad, our area of operations spans every corner of our nation. We represent a cause that is unique in our country, and a large minority of people has much to benefit from the work that we do.

What our foundation does can be broken down into the following:-

Raise Funds for our operations through our signature Fund Raising event, the Infinity Ride.
Scout out talent among the disabled population of India.
Provide counseling for such individuals and help them get better at their sport/ find a sport that is suitable for them.
Provide the necessary equipment, training, funding for these athletes to help them grow in their sport and compete to win at the International level.

Along with civilian talent available, a major portion of our efforts are directed at finding and nurturing talent available in the nations Central Armed Police Forces (BSF, CRPF and ITBP), where there are quite a few permanent injuries which arise while a soldier is on duty at India’s International borders and naxal prone areas.

We support athletes right from the grassroot level and bring them up to a level at which they are capable of International dominance in their sport.

“Our vision is to make India a superpower in the world of Para Sports.”

What People Say About Us

It gives me immense pleasure to extend hearty congratulations and special appreciation to you for support / participation in the Infinity Ride 2020 from Kashmir to Kanyakumari covering a distance of 3842 kms between 19th Nov and 31st Dec, 2020. I am delighted to know that the Infinity Ride, the bi-cycle ride, organised by the Aditya Mehta Foundation in collaboration with Border Security Force is aimed at raising awareness about para-sports apart from inspiring and reaching out to the children with disabilities in schools. I am sure that this Infinity Ride with an altruistic motive will definitely go a long way in creating awareness, rehabilitation, and training the children with disabilities in para-sports at the grass-root level. I once again appreciate your support/ participation in Infinity Ride 2020 and extend special commendation to the organising body, the Aditya Mehta Foundation for the same. I extend my best wishes for all your future noble endeavors.

Dr. Smt. Tamilisai Soundararajan, Hon'ble Governor Telangana

"I am extremely grateful to the Aditya Mehta Foundation for the kind of inspiring work that they are doing. They are inspiring a lot of people, including myself."

Shri Kiren Rijiju, (honorable Union Minister of State for Home Affairs)

"It is a rare honour to spend some time with the national para-cyclist team.It is a privilege that has come to us thanks to Aditya Mehta who briefed us about their project and our support. It’s not just the support that we are providing but also seeking inspiration from them. The Gujarat Police considers this spirit of resilience to be something which we would like to be imbibed by every single constable in our force,”

Shri. AK Singh, (IPS, Commissioner of Police, Ahmedabad)

We are very happy to be associated with the Aditya Mehta Foundation. They are doing a great service for the disabled of the BSF & other para- military forces. The method of AMF for counselling and infusing confidence in the disabled is really very effective. I thank them for being associated with us and wish them all the best.

Shri K K Sharma, IPS, DG BSF

"It is a great privilege to ride with Aditya from Delhi to Mumbai on December 14, 2015. This is a curtain-raiser to the upcoming Manali-Khardungla, Infinity Ride 2016 and to support all the Police and Paramilitary forces who have lost their limbs on duty "

Dr. Akun Sabherwal, IPS

No one knows better than Aditya Mehta about the grievances faced by differently disabled athletes. We pray for his success in the mission through his foundation"- Forum for better living.

Venkataramaiah Dirishala, Director, National Academy of Construction

“Dear Aditya you have achieved quiet a lot and made us all proud. Showed the way to a lot of people. Keep Cycling. Keep Rocking.”

K.T Rama Rao, Hon'ble Minister IT & PR, Telangana

"The First Time I met Aditya was at a meeting of Hyderabad Bicycling Club organisers and I found him to be a down to earth, soft and slightly shy person. I invited him to a cycling event that was being held at a professional college owned by my family’s educational trust as I wanted the students to interact with an inspirational role model who has risen like a Phoenix from his misfortunes in life and shown that determination, true grit & perseverance can guide us to greater successes in Life. He has shown us that there is truly nothing impossible and only our minds limit us in achieving our glories. Aditya had just taken up cycling after his accident and has simply excelled in the endurance events that he has taken part in. He has also started running long distance of late and taken up swimming and I do see a potential Tri-Athlete in him in the near future. I wish him all the successes in life and seem him as a poster-boy for sportsmen of all types whether normal or physically challenged. I admire his spirit and also do wish him the best for his latest cause of cycling from Kashmir to KanyaKumari to raise funds for the physically challenged sportspeople."

Vanitha Datla, CFO & Executive Director, Elico Ltd.

"Several of us with both the legs intact don't undertake such adventurous and treacherous rides, while he not only set out but completed them successfully. He is a true inspiration to all of us. His noble task of setting up Aditya mehta Foundation to support fellow Para-athletes is praise worthy"

Amala Akkineni, Co-Founder of Blue Cross, Social Activist

"Aditya Mehta is the pride of Hyderabad. He is a para-athlete and he needs no sympathy. He is a game changer and an inspiration to many people. He is man with a magnanimous heart and rides for a cause. His NGO - AMF, supports the differently abled people and challenges them to become athletes. He called me a sister! Who wouldn't want to be a proud sister of an inspiring brother like him. His story is to be told.. My support is always with u adi .. Rock like u always do . More power and more strength to u Love sister - Shilpa "
