In 2013, I founded Sai Arts Studios in Dublin, CA, with a mission to showcase art as a medium to  interact with society, increase cultural awareness, and benefit our communities.  The art school has been supporting numerous charitable organizations to benefit the Bay Area community and charitable NGOs in India, including Hindu American Foundation, SEWA International, Touch a Life Foundation, Narika, Little Taare, Asha for Education, etc.
