Aparajita was recently awarded Entrepreneur of the Year by FICCI FLO for her contribution to art and is currently on the advisory board of ICCR and has recently been inducted onto the board of an International Sculpture Foundation. In 2010, Aparajita Jain founded The Saat Saath Arts Foundation, envisioning it as a not-for-profit initiative meant to foster a platform for creative dialogue between Indian artists and the international art world. The foundation was first set up as a fund-raising initiative to save the tigers of Ranthambore. “Art Tiger” encouraged artists to paint life-size tigers to create awareness about the endangered plight of the animal in India.
