Who Are We?
Our Story
GaMaBhaNa is a UK based social initiative founded in March 2017 by Santosh Deshpande and Supriya Deshpande and supported by a lot of like-minded passionate people based in the United Kingdom and Europe.
We treat this initiative as a social investment with 'change in society' as our currency. It is not for generating money, it is to make the society better and give our children a proud identity of being British/European Indians.
