The Five Year Journey of Suryanayak

What We Do

Where It All Began ?

What started as one young woman’s response to a critical gap in CPR awareness has become a nationwide mission. Through Project SuryaNayak, Veruschka trains frontline workers and everyday citizens to save lives partnering with private-public sector, govt bodies, students and ngos, running hands-on sessions, and spreading awareness online to make CPR knowledge accessible to all.

“A pair of hands can build, heal, and save. But what if those hands became the heart— pumping life where systems have failed? What if preparedness became as instinctive as breath?”
