Meet the Trustees

Four individuals united by a shared conviction — that a family's responsibility extends into the communities around it.

Chairperson & Founder

Dr. Kalyan Singh Sachdev

Dr. Kalyan Singh Sachdev is the Founder and Chairperson of the Trust, and the driving force behind its establishment and continued growth. A visionary leader with a lifelong dedication to community service and social responsibility, he established the Trust in honour of his late wife Dr. Efthymia Sachdev — carrying forward her compassion and values into every initiative the Trust undertakes.

Under his leadership, the Trust has grown from a personal pledge into a structured institution serving over 125,000 beneficiaries across four states. He provides strategic oversight, ensures the Trust's values remain central to its work, and represents its founding conviction: that purpose before publicity, and outcomes over announcements, are the only true measures of impact.
