Shilpa Amladi


Rooted in a shared journey of friendship, values, and purpose, I serve as the CSR Partnerships Lead at BeFriend Life. My association with BFL began long before its inception, through a close friendship with its founder, Bhuvana, that started during our engineering college days. Having witnessed her integrity, compassion, and commitment to social change over the years, joining BeFriend Life felt like a natural extension of the values we have long shared. As we moved through different stages of life and career, our belief in meaningful and sustainable social contribution only deepened. I am deeply proud of Bhuvana’s vision and leadership in building BeFriend Life into a credible and impactful organization. 

With a background in engineering, an MBA from BIM Trichy, and professional experience across key HR functions in the IT industry, I now lead CSR partnerships, funding initiatives, impact analysis, and contribute to projects such as Pragya. I believe that “service is the truest expression of leadership.”  And so I actively pursue social work as a conscious responsibility—to leverage my skills, experiences, and access to resources in ways that create accountable, scalable, and measurable social impact.

Beyond work, I am passionate about travelling to discover new cultures and perspectives, and I enjoy playing volleyball—a sport I have loved since school days, even if life briefly pulled me away from the court. The pursuit of my passions keeps me grounded, energized, and connected to people.
