Indira’s deep-rooted commitment to community service spans a significant period, during which she has worked with some of India’s most economically underprivileged communities. Her efforts extend to development initiatives in the realms of healthcare, women empowerment and primary & secondary education.

During her time in London, Indira played a vital role raising the funds for palliative care for cancer patients in India. Notably, she also generously funded a Chair for research in renal diseases at a prestigious college in the UK.

Indira Burman’s efforts resonate both locally and globally. She has been a driving force behind the establishment of four Som Datt Clinics in Shakarpur, New Delhi, providing essential healthcare services to the Below Poverty Line (BPL) population within a 20-km radius of each clinic. She also supported the rehabilitation of Sundarbans mangroves.

In 2017, Indira Burman initiated Kalyani, a groundbreaking project dedicated to educating rural Indian women about menstrual hygiene while providing them access to biodegradable sanitary napkins. She took a significant step in creating an alternate livelihood for rural women by establishing a manufacturing facility for biodegradable sanitary napkins. Managed by the very women it serves, this facility has become a catalyst for their financial independence.

With an aim to provide quality education to rural Indian children, Indira, in collaboration with Mr Pradip Burman, has established Gyan Anant Vidyalaya, a formal school located in Atrauli, Uttar Pradesh.

Currently, Indira Burman serves on the board of Mobius Foundation, a multi-million-dollar foundation dedicated to supporting Sustainable Development in rural India.
