Our Board is made up of nine Trustees responsible for making sure the Trust is well run and fulfilling its mission. The Trustees delegate day-to-day management to our Trust Director, supported by our Grants Manager and Finance Officer from our London office.
Founder of Beebas Creations, a publicly traded company on the NYSE, and Argent Fund Management Limited, Arjun has had an extensive and prolific career as a successful businessman, entrepreneur and restaurateur with Zuma, Roka, La Petite Maison and Coya achieving worldwide success. He is the co-owner of The Arts Club and a dedicated philanthropist. In 2018 Arjun was recognised in the Queens Birthday Honours and awarded an OBE for his services to hospitality and philanthropy.
Arjun applies his business acumen to his charitable endeavors; twinning his two passions of restaurants and philanthropy. He founded the Savitri Trust in 2001 and remains very much at the heart of the Savitri Trust and its’ projects.
As with Arjun’s other projects, what started as a small ripple has now grown into a tsunami of love and care. I consider myself privileged to be in a small way part of this great humanitarian cause. Restoring sight to so many has restored in me the vision of what is actually important in life.
