The story began when she conceived the idea of becoming an adoptive mother at only nineteen. So she became an adoptive  mother to a son after being a biological mother to her daughter to advocate child adoption as a way to secure the lives of abandoned and unfortunate children. She looks forward to propagating the cause of child adoption and inspire the society to contribute actively by choosing to become adoptive parents. Her children are now 17 (daughter) and 13 (son).

She volunteered for many orphanages and old age homes individually, until she co-founded a public charitable trust Charista Foundation in January 2021, registered at Hyderabad to give her social work a structure.

She feels that the cause of Elderly Care needs to be addressed globally. Shilpi forayed into film-making along with Anil Kumar, co-founder of Charista Foundation. Producing the social short ‘Poonam’, was a collaboration between Shilpi’s Voice & Visuals and Precipio Technologies Pvt. Ltd. The film has received 34 national and international awards so far. ‘Poonam’ is a tribute to the elderly, a film that showcases their loneliness and the need for companionship. The film’s purpose is to sensitise its audience and create awareness towards the psychological needs of the elderly. Charista Foundation aims to bring solace to the lonely and isolated elderly, and make them an active, living part of the society using their experience and intellect.

She took to becoming a professional Sound Healing Practitioner to further her journey in the domain of voice and sound. The primary purpose is to use voice  and sound therapy not only in providing psychological care to the elderly but also propagate holistic health in the society through the power of sound. She perpetuates holistic community wellness through ‘Group Sound Meditation’ programs for independent groups as well as corporate  events and conducts private ‘Sound Baths’ too.
