Sujata’s primary focus, until recently, has been on her role as a mother. Her objective has been to be very present during the formative years of her 14-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son, to ensure both are firmly ground with core values.

With her children both nearly in secondary school, Sujata has shifted her focus towards a journey she is taking with her husband to understand in depth the global philanthropic landscape and the various initiatives and trends that shape it. This understanding is the first step in a process to help define the Foundation’s global direction and to institutionalize its activities in a manner that places family involvement at the centre.
