Headquarters: Pune, Maharashtra, India

Founded: 2018

Industry: Social Enterprise | Inclusive Employment | Skill Development


Company Overview

Founded in 2018, Kineer Services Pvt. Ltd. is an award-winning social enterprise transforming the landscape of inclusive employment and economic empowerment in India. Co-founded by Dr. Manish Jain, Pooja Jain, and Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, Kineer was built on a powerful belief—that every individual deserves dignity, opportunity, and the chance to build an independent future, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, or social background.


The organization's flagship TRANS-formation Program provides free skill development, employability training, mentorship, and corporate placement opportunities for transgender and LGBTQ+ individuals, helping bridge the gap between underserved talent and mainstream employment. Since its inception, Kineer has trained over 1,200 individuals while facilitating employment opportunities through partnerships with leading organizations across hospitality, retail, customer service, and technology sectors.


Beyond workforce development, Kineer has created innovative livelihood initiatives including Capable Water, an inclusive packaged drinking water brand creating employment for transgender persons and persons with disabilities, and Chai with Dignity, a social enterprise supporting transgender entrepreneurs through tea-cart businesses.


By combining skill development, entrepreneurship, corporate inclusion, healthcare, community welfare, and social advocacy within one integrated ecosystem, Kineer has become one of India's most respected inclusion-driven social enterprises.


Award Recognition

At the 9th SME Business Award 2026, Great Companies proudly recognizes Kineer Services Pvt. Ltd. with the Inclusive Employment Excellence recognition for its extraordinary contribution to social entrepreneurship, workforce inclusion, and sustainable community empowerment.


Its innovative model demonstrates that business success and social transformation can grow together while creating measurable opportunities for communities that have historically faced systemic barriers.


Why Kineer Was Selected

Kineer has redefined what meaningful inclusion looks like by creating an ecosystem where employment, entrepreneurship, and dignity work together rather than existing as separate initiatives.


Instead of offering isolated training programs, the organization addresses the complete journey—from social exclusion to economic independence—through skill development, corporate placements, entrepreneurial opportunities, healthcare support, and long-term community engagement.


Its impact extends far beyond employment numbers, having reached over 600,000 beneficiaries through welfare initiatives, awareness programs, health camps, and inclusion-driven community outreach.


This measurable, scalable, and human-centered approach makes Kineer Services Pvt. Ltd. a deserving recipient of the Inclusive Employment Excellence recognition at the 9th SME Business Award 2026.


The Vision Behind Kineer

Kineer believes an inclusive society is built when opportunity becomes accessible to everyone.


Its vision is to create a future where transgender, LGBTQ+, and marginalized communities are empowered through education, employment, entrepreneurship, and equal participation in the economy.


By building partnerships with corporations, government agencies, educational institutions, and community leaders, Kineer continues expanding opportunities that strengthen both individuals and society as a whole.


Leadership That Inspires

Dr. Manish Jain has emerged as one of India's leading voices in inclusion-driven entrepreneurship by transforming compassion into scalable social innovation.


Working alongside co-founders Pooja Jain and Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, he has helped create programs that are designed with authentic community participation rather than for communities alone—ensuring representation, dignity, and long-term impact remain central to every initiative.


Their leadership reflects a powerful belief that meaningful change happens when marginalized voices become active leaders in building solutions.
