Sara Tendulkar has already been actively involved in philanthropic work. She recently visited a remote village near Udaipur, where she worked closely with the Sachin Tendulkar Foundation and Basic Healthcare Services. Reflecting on the experience, she said, “Spending time in a remote village near Udaipur with @basichealthcareservices and @sachintendulkarfoundation was incredibly meaningful.

The Sachin Tendulkar Foundation, established in 2019 by Sachin and Dr. Anjali Tendulkar, focuses on improving the lives of children across India. It is particularly committed to supporting children born with cleft lip and palate impairments. The foundation also uses sports as a tool for empowerment and works to provide equal opportunities for underprivileged children.
Sara’s appointment as Director adds a new dimension to the foundation’s efforts. Her academic background in Clinical and Public Health Nutrition equips her to address pressing healthcare challenges, while her passion for community work reflects the foundation’s core values.
With Sara stepping into this leadership role, the Tendulkar family’s vision of creating meaningful change in society gains fresh momentum. Her involvement is expected to further strengthen the foundation’s impact across India, fostering hope and opportunities for underserved communities.
