Tej Kohli is a technologist and investor and is founder of the Tej Kohli Foundation and co-founder of the Tej Kohli & Ruit Foundation. Tej Kohli is best known for his worldwide mission to end blindness through grassroots interventions to close the pervasive treatment gap within the worlds poorest communities. In 2005 Tej Kohli set out on his journey to becoming a philanthropist. This journey would give fresh purpose to his life and lead him to his '"true calling” of using his accumulated wealth to combat needless, curable and avoidable forms of blindness.
Amongst the grassroots projects that Tej Kohli has funded are an eye hospital in India that has cured 43,255 people of blindness; a project to provide 3D printed bionic arms to disabled young people in the United Kingdom, a $2 million research project at Harvard Medical School as well as a research program that is seeking a cure for blindness that would be affordable and scalable within the world’s poor communities where 90% of blind people live.
In 2021 Tej Kohli embarked upon his most ambitious project to date with the launch of the Tej Kohli & Ruit Foundation, a registered charity that is funded entirely by Kohli. The Tej Kohli & Ruit Foundation conducts outreach activities and microsurgical outreach camps that are on track to screen over one million of the world’s poorest people and to cure 300,000 to 500,000 of cataract blindness by 2026 in partnership with ‘God of Sight’ Dr Sanduk Ruit.
Tej Kohli wrote and published ‘Rebuilding You: The Philanthropy Handbook’ in 2020 as a guide for entrepreneurs who wanted to start spending their wealth on good causes.
