Courtney Lalotra

Co-Founder & Director of Programs

When Courtney Lalotra of USA graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2010, she joined a small research team of alumni and professors who traveled to India to research a type of wool fabric manufactured in the country.

The trip was supposed to last a month.

But at age 23, she made what some would consider an unthinkable decision. She ditched the group and moved to the slums outside of New Delhi, where she volunteered in an orphanage.

Nearly a decade later, she’s still caring for India’s most neglected children as the founder of Samarpan Trust. Courtney met her husband Yogesh in 2014. Together they have a son, Vikramaditya.
