At the NDTV World Summit, she emphasized that true philanthropy connects one's soul with the cause.
Continuing the legacy of nation builders like Padma Bhushan Kunjilal Dubey, her commitment extends to the cultural fabric of India, having built seven Jain temples and educational institutions in Bhilwara.
