His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama made Tara Melwani his direct student in April 2023 in Dharamsala, making it known publicly to the YPO Singapore organising committee.
Not one to say much, Tara was shocked to know that she had been his direct student for many lifetimes. His Holiness made his blessings known for her to be a Tara.
His Holiness has instructed her to teach and guide those interested in secular ethics and Buddhist meditation in the Indo-Tibetan tradition.

The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kinds.
