As a Global Business Leader, Marketing Strategist, Investor, Advisor, D&I Champion, and Multilingual Entrepreneur who was born and raised in India, I’ve built businesses, funded and mentored Women Business Enterprises (WBEs) in sectors ranging from AI to fashion and hospitality, and impacted thousands of female entrepreneurs across six continents.Career Highlights:✔️ 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗛𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗱-𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗗𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 & 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵.

Launched one of India’s largest printing facilities (170MM+ annual print runs), created book of business with Global 1000 accounts, and penetrated markets in the Americas, EU, and APAC.✔️ 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. Established programs that delivered tens of thousands of hours of mentorship to women entrepreneurs worldwide, from Google-sponsored accelerator sessions, pitch competitions, and open mic nights at TiE Women, to microenterprise skill training for underserved Indian women via Animedh Charitable Trust.✔️ 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁-𝗨𝗽 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴.
