Nidhi was offered a full government scholarship for a PhD and had a teaching job in Mathematics at her alma mater, St. Stephen’s College. However, her life changed course when she also started teaching the street children that had been rehabilitated by a charity called Salaam Baalak Trust based in Delhi, India. She made it a mission in her life to help the disadvantaged children who ended up being on the streets. In 2009, she established a UK registered charity called Friends of Salaam Baalak Trust (FoSBT). The charity has raised funds as well as awareness in the UK about issues faced by street children in India and had the opportunity to present their goals in the British Parliament.
