India's Most Preferred Nonprofit Recruitment Partner

Ground Zero was born in 2021, inspired by a simple idea: bridge the information gap between nonprofits and the talent eager to create change. What started as a digital campaign — #HiringInSocialSector — quickly revealed a deeper truth: this wasn’t just about connecting dots, it was about building meaningful relationships between those who want to make a difference and the organizations that need them most. At Ground Zero, we go beyond hiring. We’re shaping a stronger, more inclusive nonprofit ecosystem where individuals are not just placed into roles, but empowered to learn, grow, innovate, and thrive for the greater good. With a growing network of 70,000+ candidates and 100+ trusted nonprofit partners across India and South Asia, we are proud to be the bridge that fuels missions with the right people, and people with the right opportunities.
