Our Journey

Inspired by two very dynamic ladies. Surya Devi, a revolutionary and a freedom fighter.

And Mohini Sinha, a literary person, educated at St. Mary’s, Lahore (Before partition) supported by her husband, Shri L. P. Sinha (Lulloo Baboo) – dedicated herself in educating the financially handicapped children and women. She herself became physically handicapped due to typhoid relapse at the age of nine.

Seeing the apathy of her mother Smt. Mohini Sinha, and the spirit of her mother-in-law to stand up against injustice, the trust was founded by Smt. Sandhya Sinha initially to help handicapped women and girls to become self reliant, but then extended its area of operations amongst other needy people. The trust has three bodies under its umbrella, named Grihasthi,  React   and   Women’s Empowerment Forum.

Introduction of Mrs. Zarine Khan

Today every fourth young girl wants to get into fashion designing and fifth into interiors. But almost three decades ago, when Zarine Khan decided to step into the world of interior designing, it was an absolute male domain. She with her creative talent & imagination, could make her niche rather quickly and acquired brand status simultaneously.

With the best & biggest names on her client list, Zarine’s TRADITIONAL ART is a name to reckon with, in India & outside.

The high profile Golden Spa Restaurant and Spa in Bangalore, sprawled on three lakh square feet is termed heaven on earth. It has been Zarine’s baby from conception to completion. From Yoga to Gym to Naturopathy, her approach has been truly holistic.

No wonder, this lady of style par excellence seems to have held the clock of aging in check- in every respect!
