A Journey of Growth, Calm, and Purpose - Model of Circular Growth
AN INITIATIVE BY


At Aarambh, every young adult begins a journey where therapy, nature, and meaningful work come together to create a life of balance and independence.
GROUNDED IN NATURE
Your child wakes up in a serene environment where 80% of the surroundings are natural vegetation — trees, gardens, and farms.
Their home is a beautiful eco-cottage built with bamboo, mud, and earth-friendly materials, offering warmth, stability, and connection to nature.
This natural rhythm helps them slow down, find calm, and feel secure.

HEALING THROUGH NATURAL LIVING
Each day begins with a seasonal, nutritionist-guided diet that supports a healthy gut microbiome — a key driver of improved mood, emotional regulation, attention, and overall well-being in neurodiverse children.
Food becomes nourishment, stability, and medicine.

THERAPIES THAT BUILD REAL-WORLD READINESS


STRUCTURED APPROACH
Through structured Occupational, Speech, Behavioral and movement therapies, your child strengthens:
-
Instruction following
-
Fine and gross motor skills
-
Sensory regulation
-
Emotional balance
-
Social behavior
With time, they learn to stay calm, composed, and confident even in the presence of sensory challenges.

PURPOSEFUL SKILLS FOR LIFE
Daily vocational training in:
-
Hospitality
-
Culinary arts
-
Farming and gardening
helps your child build hands-on abilities that create confidence, engagement, and a strong sense of self-worth.
They begin to see themselves not as dependents, but as contributors.

A REAL ENVIRONMENT TO PRACTICE & SHINE
Aarambh is set within an integrated resort-style campus that can host up to 20 guests — including visiting parents.
This gives every young adult real opportunities to:
-
Welcome guests
-
Serve meals
-
Maintain gardens
-
Assist in housekeeping
-
Engage socially
Every interaction becomes a moment of learning and pride.
Every contribution becomes a moment of accomplishment.
A LIVING MODEL OF CIRCULAR GROWTH
Therapy → Skill-building → Real-life practice → Earning potential
Your child learns:
-
Soft skills through therapy and education
-
Hard skills through hospitality, culinary work, and farming
-
Financial and social independence through meaningful tasks
They get the chance to serve their own parents, contribute to the community, and even earn a source of income — reinforcing dignity, purpose, and belonging


Founding Patrons - Sardesai Family and The Blessed Ones Family
Our Shared Beginning
Aarambh was born from two families whose lives, hopes, and journeys crossed at exactly the right time.
For Amitej and Poonam, founders of The Blessed Ones and parents to their neurodiverse daughter Akshita, the mission began in 2022 with a simple promise: No Child Left Behind. What started as a personal effort to create better therapy and care for Akshita soon grew into a movement supporting hundreds of families across Pune, Nagpur, and Navi Mumbai—both through their centers and through their online therapy platform, Coables.
At the same time, Jaydeep and Tanuja Sardesai—heirs to a century-long legacy of social service—dreamed of a future where their daughter Avani, also on the ASD spectrum, could live with dignity, independence, and joy. With deep commitment and the support of their younger daughter Asmi, they opened their ecologically nurtured family land to create a truly inclusive residential community.
When the Priyadarshi and Sardesai families came together, Aarambh took shape—a place where therapy meets nature, where skills lead to purpose, and where young adults can rise, grow, and belong.
Aarambh is not just a project.
It is the shared hope of two families—now extended to yours.

Excited!
