Entrepreneur’s foundation makes first award

A charitable foundation set up by the founder of Oberoi Business Hub has made its first donation.

Kavita Oberoi OBE established The Oberoi Foundation to help improve the lives of young women and girls.

It has now agreed funding for Maggie’s – the Maggie Keswick Jencks Cancer Caring Centres Trust – to develop training and support services for women who are experiencing early onset menopause as a result of cancer treatment.

As well the Oberoi Business Hub, Mrs Oberoi is the founder and managing director of Oberoi Consulting, a leading supplier of IT and clinical support services to the NHS and pharmaceutical industry.

Every year, a percentage of profits from the companies are ploughed into The Oberoi Foundation, which is run by the Charities Aid Foundation.

Mrs Oberoi said: “Through my involvement in campaigns and charities locally, nationally and internationally, I have seen the positive impact that funding innovative causes can have on impacting the lives of individuals.

“I am therefore delighted that Maggie’s is the first recipient of support through The Oberoi Foundation.”
