Coming from an economically not well off background, and the experiences he had growing up, Sanjay wanted to contribute back to the society using his skills and education and give them a better life. As he grew up in a conservative society, he was exposed to challenges and disadvantages that women had to face in the patriarchal society. This is why he decided to mobilize these women into some institution so that they will feel comfortable coming out of their closet and exercise their choices.
