Mr. Shrikrishna Bhave

"It is with a sense of nostalgia that i am writing this note. I and my colleagues at Forbes are back to our work and business life but in my mind & in the minds of many, the question still lingers - whether this is real or what we saw out there Sharanam was real. Getting glimpse of the huge work being done on the human development index and personally experiencing above, even if briefly, has made a profound impact on me and my colleagues. The deep, grass root level and transformational work that you and your team are doing is beyond praise- we can just gape at it in awe, wonder and admiration. This is to thank you on behalf of Forbes Senior Team and also to extend my gratitude for enriching our lives, if only for a day."

"Auroma's genius lies in embracing a project at its conceptual level as their own, and shaping it with their creativity that is inspired by their inquisitiveness to explore new horizons. Auroma imbibes the vision of the person and becomes a co-creator in the process. To me, that is the mark of a leader. Trupti has really championed our idea for a Business Incubation Centre - she has delighted us with her designs! She is not satisfied with the ordinary, neither she let people around her get satisfied with the prosaic. She came back to us with a design that was beyond our imagination. Auroma’s dedication and passion towards the work they take up is exemplary."
