From a farming family in Tripura to founding NANA Foundation
I was born into a humble farming family in Tripura, where resources were limited but values were abundant. Growing up, I witnessed the daily struggles of rural life — financial hardship, limited educational opportunities, and the challenges families face striving for a better future. These experiences shaped my belief that real change begins when ordinary people choose to help others.
My own path took me through the hospitality industry, into sales and business development with leading hotel brands. That career gave me stability and growth, but my heart stayed connected to community service and environmental conservation. Music became another meaningful part of my life — as a live singer, I found that performances could do more than entertain; they could fund social initiatives. Every talent, I learned, can become a force for positive change.
This vision first took shape through a social initiative called TD The Journey, where volunteers and I worked on tree plantation drives, environmental awareness campaigns, educational support and community engagement. As that vision grew, it became clear that a stronger institutional foundation was needed — which led to establishing NANA Foundation, built on the belief that compassion, responsibility and collective action can transform lives.
Our mission goes beyond temporary support. We're committed to long-term, sustainable impact through environmental conservation, education, youth development, community welfare, health awareness and skill development — initiatives that help people become agents of change in their own communities. Every tree planted, every child supported, every volunteer inspired contributes to a stronger, more compassionate society.
This journey isn't mine alone. It belongs to every volunteer, supporter, partner, donor and well-wisher who believes we can build a greener, healthier, more hopeful future — together.
