Timeline
Sunanda Pushkar (27 June 1962 – 17 January 2014) was an Indian-born Canadian businesswoman and the wife of former International diplomat serving under the UN and politician Shashi Tharoor.
She was a sales director in the Dubai-based TECOM Investments, and a co-owner of the India-based Rendezvous Sports World (RSW), a cricket franchise in the Indian Premier League.
Sunanda Pushkar (née Dass) was born on 27 June 1962 in a Kashmiri Pandit family of landlords and army officers native to Bomai, Sopore.
She was the only daughter of Lt Col Pushkar Nath Dass and Jaya Dass.
Her father retired from the army in 1983.
She has two brothers, one of whom works for a global software company in Dubai; the other is in the Indian Army.
She graduated from the Govt women's College in Srinagar, where she studied during 1986–88.
While studying at the Government College for women, where she was the President of the college, she married a fellow hotel management graduate Sanjay Raina.
The couple divorced in 1988.
Subsequently, Sunanda went to Dubai in 1989 and married Sujith Menon in 1991.
The family moved from Bomai to Jammu in 1990, after their house was set on fire by Militants.
Pushkar did her schooling at Convent of Jesus and Mary, Ambala and at Kendriya Vidyalaya, Jhansi.
Impressed by the Canadian healthcare system, she emigrated to Canada in the 1990, as her son needed speech therapy.
According to Sunanda, she became a partner in an IT firm called "Valley Resources" through sweat equity, after a San Francisco-based friend introduced her to the founders.
Subsequently, she became wealthy during the dot-com bubble, managing to buy her own house and a BMW car.
Their son was born in November 1992.
Sunanda was widowed when Sujith Menon died in an accident in 1997.

She left Bozell Prime to spend time with her son.
She then went on to open a joint retail business of artificial jewelry in Dubai, called Ravissant Trading.
She spelled her name as "Sue P. Menon" on her business cards, and later, started using "Pushkar" (an alternative spelling of her father's name) as her last name.
According to her, she faced financial troubles, as she had to repay Sujith's debts, support her parents and her brother through engineering college.
The business was impacted by the post-9/11 slowdown and closed in 2001.
After four months of unemployment and financial difficulties, Sunanda did a course in emotional intelligence, and joined a company called Noble House International.
