The roots of Dr. Goswami’s mission trace back to her mother, Late Dr. Rina Barua Goswami, a pioneering ENT specialist in North-East India. In 1985, Dr. Rina began her work in Guwahati, long before speech and hearing rehabilitation were widely understood. Her clinic became a refuge for families seeking more than treatment—they found understanding, dignity, and hope.

Dr. Rina Barua Goswami came from the illustrious Barua family of Gauripur, sharing bloodlines with two of Assam’s most celebrated cultural figures: Pramathesh Chandra Barua, the legendary filmmaker and actor, and Pratima Barua Pandey, the iconic folk singer who brought Goalpariya folk music to the national stage. Through her, Sudeshna inherited not only a spirit of service but also a deep cultural sensibility—one that sees communication as art, identity, and belonging.

Her familial roots are deeply intertwined with India’s cultural and academic renaissance. Her grandfather, Late Mahesh Chandra Deva Goswami, was an eminent scholar who studied under two of India’s greatest minds—Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (Philosopher & President of India) and Humayun Kabir (renowned educationist and writer). This scholarly lineage was further enriched by her grand-uncle, Ambikagiri Rai Chowdhury, a celebrated poet, freedom fighter, and spiritual voice of Assam. Sudeshna’s father was also a respected All India Radio Assamese singer, and a social entrepreneur working in Assam’s tribal and marginalised areas and together, her parents fostered an environment rich in music, expression, and empathy. This heritage gave her a natural intuition for the emotional rhythms of human interaction—qualities that would later become central to her therapeutic philosophy.
