Gulshan Kavarana is one of those women liked by all. Heading the Special Families Support (SFS) Group, founded in 1999, it is her job to help families cope with their special needs children and the challenges of family life by acting as an inspiration, coach and motivator to those parents.

A mother of two based in Dubai, she has also gone to great lengths to assist the children themselves who have special needs, after her own daughter was diagnosed with autism.

To extend her assistance to India, Kavarana has also started another group based in Mumbai, called the Ahura Support Group. She holds several public events each year.
