Shamshad Begum Saravanan - Co Founder

Shamshad Begum was the true game changer in Saravanan Ranganathan's life and career. More than just a life partner, she stood as a pillar of strength, guiding light, and inspiration behind every step he took toward building his dreams. From the earliest stages, when challenges were high and resources were limited, her belief in Saravanan’s vision never wavered. Her encouragement, wisdom, and hands-on support helped lay the foundation for what would eventually become a beacon of opportunity for many — Annai IIHM College.

In the initial phase of establishing the college, Begum’s support was nothing short of extraordinary. She dedicated herself wholeheartedly, working behind the scenes with unwavering commitment and sacrifice. Whether it was planning, administration, or motivating young students, her role was vital in turning ideas into reality. She shared Saravanan's passion for empowering underprivileged village students and worked tirelessly to make hotel management education accessible to them. Her efforts were not just support — they were the spark that ignited a greater purpose.

Though Shamshad Begum is no longer with us, her spirit continues to live on through the lives she touched and the legacy she helped create. Her vision and mission have been deeply rooted in the heart of Annai IIHM College, and Saravanan remains committed to carrying that torch forward. Her contributions will never be forgotten, and the institution she helped build will continue to thrive and impact generations for the next 100 years, honoring her memory and the values she stood for.
