Founder's Message

Dipika Khinvasara

Dipika Khinvasara, the visionary Founder-Director of Pune's renowned Devataru Foundation for Assisted Living for Elders, is also the Founder Director of Heartland Dunes. She embarked on this journey of social entrepreneurship nearly a decade ago, driven by her enduring love and compassion for social causes, a passion ignited right from her college years. Her altruistic spirit found its first home at "Virayatan," a Jain social organization championing causes of education and personal development for the underprivileged.

The devastating earthquake in Bhuj in 2001 propelled Dipika to work tirelessly like no one else. Her dedication towards her cause shone brightly as she extended more than a helping hand to the affected. Realizing her dream and her passion for social entrepreneurship, where she could channel her urges to help people in need into a profitable organization, she eventually shifted her focus towards counselling and assisting the elderly in their daily living. Her tireless and single-minded dedication led to the establishment of one of Pune's most successful charitable assisted-living facilities, "Devataru Foundation," in the year 2014.

With an MA in Fine Arts and experience as a lecturer at Pune's renowned SNDT College, Dipika's academic prowess complements her boundless empathy for all living beings. Her guiding philosophy remains that "Social work is the Art of Listening and the Science of Hope," serving as a testament to her unwavering commitment to uplifting communities. Today, as the proud owner of Heartland Dunes, a premium tent-based resort in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, Dipika Khinvasara continues to live her dream of authenticity, whether it's related to food, stay, or ambience. In time, this dedication will make the place as coveted and successful as all her other endeavours."
