There was always a passion to serve the needy to the best of my ability and Arambh was born out of that passion. After spending over two decades working with the corporate sector in various meaningful and challenging positions, I realized that the cracks within the societal wall just grew deeper and deeper as one plunged into it. As I became aware of how much disparity exists in our society and how unequal opportunities govern the lives of so many individuals, I decided to take things one step ahead. I started working towards fixing these cracks in whatever little capacities I could. Getting together with like-minded friends, Arambh saw the light of day in 1997 and has been the source through which I try to fulfill my dream of giving back to society and improving people's lives.

Then came a moment when I, after months of introspection and encouragement from various people, finally decided to walk on a path that was not taken by many. Starting Arambh was our way of expressing gratitude towards the society that has given us so much, for our families who always stood by us as we started our work. We believe that, so many individuals currently in the lower strata of society did not choose the circumstances they were born in, and if we are the ones who are blessed with certain privileges, then we should try and redress the imbalance that exists in our society.

The vision and the ideal with which we want to carry Arambh forward is to ensure that our quality of work and service is always retained and that our commitment to the cause of helping others always remains intact. We are very grateful for the incredible support we get from the communities where we work, individuals, and organizations who trust us because it is that support that makes our work possible. We hope that this support continues so that we get to a place where all human beings can live life with dignity, respect, and comfort. So even though Arambh has a long way to go, it will soon bloom into a big tree that would provide shelter to as many people as possible.
