360DEGREESBACKTOLIFE is a support group that provides non-judgmental support to those going through divorce.
It is the first group in India that provides a positive perspective to and focuses on rebuilding your life even while going through a divorce.
Divorce in India is still a stigma and those who are going through it are constantly ostracized by society. This group was initiated by me, Vandana Shah, about 6 years ago after having gone through this myself. |
Vandana Shah is a young woman from Ambala City who moved to a metropolis Mumbai. She was orphaned at a young age. She has degrees in psychology and marketing and is in her final year of studying law. She was married for six months to a man from a wealthy Indian family. When he filed for divorce, her life was shattered. 360 Degrees Back to Life is the story of humiliation and social stigma surrounding divorce that still exists in India, her realization of the need of divorce support groups, and her courage to start such a group. |
Vandana has been a part of the media for very long. She studied Advertising and Marketing at Xaviers Institute of communication, Mumbai. After this she was involved with the United Nations for Environment Management.
This led her not only to advocate their patented concept of city farming, but also put her on the front page of newspapers. She was courted by the media for this unique concept and was featured in national as well international publications and television. |
