In this inspiring episode of the Passion Struck Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Abraham George, a visionary philanthropist and founder of the Shanti Bhavan Residential School. For over two decades, Shanti Bhavan has been a beacon of hope, providing free, world-class education to children from India’s most marginalized communities. By breaking cycles of poverty and empowering students to attend top universities like Stanford and Dartmouth, Dr. George is transforming lives and creating generational change.

Featured in the acclaimed Netflix documentary Daughters of Destiny, Dr. George’s impact extends far beyond education. From eliminating leaded gasoline in India to advancing healthcare and social justice initiatives, his work exemplifies what it means to align purpose with action. In this conversation, we explore how his journey—from the Indian Army to global finance and back to grassroots change in India—serves as a blueprint for making a lasting difference.
