Chief Human Resources Officer, Biocon Biologics
“I have been on the path of giving back in some shape and form for the last 6-7 years through Udayan Care. Covid increased my efforts to giving where I raised and distributed relief material worth 1.5crore through thousands in the network. Girl child education has been close to me for sometime as my mother who was a brilliant student could never study as her parents went bankrupt at independence. My father also studied through dole via Ramakrishna Mission Students home. Access to education has been close to my heart as I also studied with some support through my own work. God has been kind that I have reached a place where I can now comfortably give back to those who were like my parents or me. When I heard about #LMP, I felt this was the best way to commit to a lifelong giving back. My family is extremely supportive of me giving back in my lifetime through resources and effort and this seems very aligned to my purpose. The more I thought about it, I felt a sense of liberation. I chose 14th Sep 2022 as it is 20 years since my mother passed away in a cardiac arrest, very young in her life..”
