The Dosti Foundation was created as a result of a deeply felt need among the Dosti Realty Group to do something for the people in the communities they had created. Having been in the real estate business for a while, they felt a growing need to give back to the community. Thus, was born the idea of a school which would help in educating young people and help in creating an educated India.

The Dosti Foundation School initiative is the vision of Ms. Sejal Garodia, the Chief Managing Trustee, who created it to honor and repay a society that has shown tremendous generosity to her. As she puts it, “Education is the ultimate equalizer—an educated person has no reason to fear anyone or anything.”

The Education project is being mentored by Dr. Ranjini Krishnaswamy. She is a recipient of the National Award winner for Teachers/Principals from the Government of India and has won several other awards too. She has been in the academic arena for over 4 decades, 25 years of which she has been a principal. She has also been a Teacher trainer at the E.C.C.Ed and B.Ed levels.
