Mr. Sandeep Kumar is an officer of the 1989 batch of the Indian Revenue Services (IRS) and belongs to the city of Varanasi. He has completed his post-graduation in Ancient History from Allahabad University and has also studied Sanskrit Literature and Hindi Literature.
In 2013, Surat's Income Tax Commissioner (Appeals) Mr. Sandeep Kumar's (IRS) kidney failed. His family members were ready to donate their kidneys to him but because they were ailing from different diseases like blood pressure, kidney stones they could not do so. The doctor who was performing the dialysis of Mr, Sandeep Kumar - Dr. Ketan Desai and CA Hiren Divan approached Mr. Mandlewala for a kidney transplant. Sandeep Kumar's dialysis began at Ahmedabad IKDRC. After some time when Mr. Sandeep Kumar got a cadaver organ donation and underwent a kidney transplant, he decided to dedicate the rest of his life for the cause of organ donation. Today he is the Vice-President of Donate Life.
Despite having his kidney transplanted in August 2013, he has taken the keen interest in the activity of organ donation with Mr. Nilesh Mandlewala and has been the motivator for the formation of Donate Life. He is a strong force that forms the backbone of Donate Life. He has gone through the process of kidney transplantation himself and understands how difficult it is for a person who goes through that phase. It is because of his support that the establishment of Donate Life has become possible. As he underwent a kidney transplant himself, he didn't want others to go through the pain that he felt. It is because of him that Donate Life could take the first steps to make this world a better place to live in. His spirit of service is commendable. He has also been involved in many social activities and in the upliftment of the poor and downtrodden. His motto of life is as said by Mahatma Gandhi: "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."
After working in various capacities in the Income Tax Department at various places like Delhi, Kanpur, Agra, Mumbai, Surat, he is presently posted as Commissioner of Income Tax at Delhi. During his career, he has dealt with and solved a number of difficult and complex cases of revenue. One of his major achievements has been the handling of Harshad Mehta Security Scam matters wherein the revenue of about two thousand crore rupees was collected by him. He has vast experience of dealing the cases of the film industry and has also contributed the study material on how to investigate and make assessments of the persons belonging to the film industry, which was circulated in the income tax department as a guidance material.

‘Your Actions Define You, Not Your Words’
One finger alone cannot do much but five fingers together form a fist. That is the power of a team and we strongly believe in teamwork at Donate Life.
So far, since the date of our establishment, we have been able to achieve success in carrying out organ transfers and transplantation only because of our team of founder trustees and our volunteers who have selflessly devoted time for this cause.This would not have been possible without the noble Samaritans who have dedicated a lot more than just time and energy to help humanity.
