We fondly remember Chitra, our founding partner and carry some of her story links below in this newsletter. Whether they were tongue in cheek humor, serious interviews with people like Kiran Bedi, Infosys Co-Founder Shibulal or celebrity bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai, or passion for the arts, Chitra unique writing and style shone through.
This issue is dedicated to her memory !
