What started as a passion project turned into a business for Shanthi Ramakrishna, Johns Hopkins. Shanthi founded Taara Projects, a fashion-social enterprise, to create a more ethical, equitable and sustainable world. 

“Taara translates to 'star' or 'light' in the language of Sanskrit,” says Shanthi. “At the end of the day, our team hopes to fulfill the meaning of our name — of being a point of light, or a star, to someone in need. This ethos underlies our commitment to upholding a model centered on ethicality and empowerment.”
