Founding ‘Meeting Minds’  is the culmination of my burning desire to be constantly learning, be abreast of new ideas and bring people together.

 

My association with several leading organisations have presented me with an excellent opportunity to build strong networks and learn through engaging events and debates.

 

An Honours degree in First Class in History and French from St Xavier's College; basic certificate courses in French, German and Italian conducted by the Government of India Tourist Office; participating in national level table tennis tournaments all over India sowed seeds of curiosity and collaboration. 

 

My professional journey began as a Tour Guide with the Government of India Tourist Department. A short stint at Trade Wings was followed by successfully running a boutique IATA travel agency. The seeds of entrepreneurship were thus sown and long-term professional relationships were woven.

 

My leadership position at the Ladies’ Wing of Indian Merchants’ Chamber for two years were marked by more than fifty programs including three successful exhibitions covering the theme, ‘Winning Women: Mind, Body and Spirit’. During my year as the Ladies’ Wing President, I conceptualized and released a coffee table edition ‘Spirited Souls: Winning Women of Mumbai’ penned by the celebrated columnist, Malavika Sangghvi, The book acknowledges the achievements of twenty winning women and aims to inspire others by sharing their success stories. 

 

The past few years, I have been involved in a few entrepreneurial ventures, including the exciting online venture, ‘meeting Minds’, in the world of human connection.
