The Gajera Trust is guided by the philosophy of “One World, One Happiness” (Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam), which translates to “The World Is One Family.” This vision drives our commitment to equality, unity, and creating a world of harmony. We are dedicated to uplifting individuals and providing a support system that spans across various sectors, including Education, Healthcare, Environment, and Community Service. Our initiatives aim to foster positive change and contribute to the overall well-being of society.
To amplify the impact of our work, we actively seek strategic partnerships with government bodies, NGOs, and renowned global organizations like TEDx and TiE Global. By combining resources, expertise, and influence, we strive to build a more sustainable and meaningful future. Our holistic approach is centred on empowering individuals with the skills and confidence needed to become leaders and agents of change.
The Gajera family’s journey began in 1972, when two brothers arrived in Surat with little more than their determination and the clothes on their backs. They started as diamond workers, sharing machinery and working side by side. In just a few years, they established successful businesses that expanded into Diamonds, Textiles, and Construction. Their entrepreneurial spirit and perseverance enabled them to build a strong reputation and make their mark in the community they had once entered with nothing.
Alongside their business ventures, the brothers founded the Smt. Shantaben Haribhai Gajera Trust in memory of their late mother. The Trust’s primary mission has always been to serve the welfare of the community, focusing on education, healthcare, and social service. One of its most impactful initiatives is the establishment of Vatsalyadham, an orphanage providing shelter, care, and a loving home for orphaned children.
Today, the Trust continues to flourish, supporting over 50,000 students from diverse backgrounds across nine campuses in Gujarat. These include 18 schools and three colleges. The legacy of Laxmi Diamond Industries and the Gajera Trust has extended far beyond India, earning recognition worldwide.
