57 Whitehall Old War Office Building[edit]
Shalini is overseeing the restoration of Winston Churchill's iconic Old War Office building at 57 Whitehall, now bought by the Hinduja Group in partnership with OHLD.[3] The building boasts of more than 1,000 rooms and two-and-a-half miles of corridors and is being redeveloped into a five-star hotel and residential apartments[1][3]. Shalini is involved with design, branding & communication, business development & marketing. The Old War Office Project is a Grade II listed[4], iconic edifice situated right in the center of London, just moments away from Great Britain’s seat of government, the Houses of Parliament. This grand, architectural gem sits on Whitehall. The building is being redeveloped to create a one-of-a-kind and world-class mixed-use real estate redevelopment over the entire block. This would include a 125-key Grand Hotel facing Whitehall Avenue and 86 residential luxury apartments.
Road To School[edit]
Road to School[5][6] is a CSR initiative by Ashok Leyland in supporting over 150 schools in the farthest parts of Tamil Nadu, India. The program focuses on improving the learning levels of students from Class II to Class VII by providing quality education to the remote Government Schools which are least served by the administrative machinery.
Personal Life[edit]
Shalini is a mother of two children, Vedika and Vedant[7]. She has a very keen interest in Art. She is a member of Sotheby’s International Council[8] and also a member of the South Asian Acquisition Committee of Tate Modern[9].
