The Story Behind Every Healing Touch
Mission
To inspire people to pledge their skin for donation by making the process accessible, compassionate, and clear. We aim to connect individuals with trusted resources so that one pledge can offer healing, dignity, and renewal to those in need of skin grafts – from burn injuries to chronic wounds and beyond.
Vision
A future where skin donation is a known and valued act of kindness. We envision an India where every person understands their potential to give healing after life, helping those in need of skin grafts reclaim comfort, movement, and dignity.
About The Founder
Tiana Vengsarkar is the passionate force behind Skin’d, a youth-led movement dedicated to raising awareness about skin donation in India. An International Baccalaureate student at the American School of Bombay, Tiana founded Skin’d after an eye-opening internship at the National Burns Center, where she witnessed firsthand the life-saving impact of donated skin on burn victims.
Under the mentorship of Dr. Sunil Keswani, India’s leading burns specialist, Tiana trained in advanced burn care, including time spent in the Skin Bank and Amnion Bank. Inspired by the urgent need and deep lack of public understanding, she launched Skin’d to educate, advocate, and build bridges between potential donors, hospitals, and communities.
With a background that spans microbiology, psychology, fashion, and design internships, Tiana brings a unique blend of empathy, science, and creativity to everything she does. Her work reflects a larger purpose: to help people heal — both physically and emotionally — through awareness, storytelling, and action.
Driven by compassion and committed to impact, Tiana is on a mission to make skin donation as understood and accepted as organ donation in India.
