Yamini Kumar Jaipuria Truly a Good Samaritan

Service for betterment of under-privileged.

- Vijayan Bala

The poor and the underprivileged in our country have a tough time existing in normal times. Their plight became really bad with the advent of Covid 19 and the subsequent lockdown which followed. The labourers and the poor people not only lost their jobs and places of stay but were also forced to return to their native places.

Cosmo Foundation, the philanthropic initiative of Cosmo Films, has been doing great service for the betterment of the lives of the under-privileged over the last decade. It was during the Covid 19 and the lockdown that followed that Cosmo Foundation earned great appreciation for its outstanding social service. This was mainly due to the dynamic and efficient leadership of Yamini Kumar Jaipuria, Managing Trustee, Cosmo Foundation and presently corporate advisor to Cosmo Films. Yamini had been associated with Cosmo Films in a pro bono role for the last five years.

Yamini is a positive, confident, intelligent and truly educated lady. Just as her great father - Mr Ashwini Kumar, a versatile genius who was one of India's greatest police officers, a great sports administrator particularly in hockey and the Olympic Movement, a connoisseur of music and author cared for people under him, Yamini with her team does the same for the needy, aged and people in distress. I spoke to Yamini about her education, her earlier work experience , the learnings from them and the task she has undertaken with Cosmo Films and Cosmo Foundation.
