Gayatri Rangachari Shah — Co-Founder
I’m a journalist, author, and consultant with two decades of experience exploring the intersections of art, culture, design, fashion, business, and luxury. My writing has appeared in leading Indian and international publications such as The New York Times, Travel & Leisure US, CNN online, The Hindu, Indian Express, VOGUE, Harpers Bazaar and AD, where I serve as a contributing editor. I co-authored Changemakers: 20 Women Transforming Bollywood Behind the Scenes (Penguin Random House). I’ve hosted and curated conversations through podcasts and live events, amplifying voices that often go unheard. As a founder member of the Women’s Leadership Circle, I work to elevate women into boardrooms, leadership, and impact roles. I am also empaneled on India’s Independent Director database and certified to serve on company boards, where I bring a global lens, gender expertise, and cross-sector experience. At heart, I remain curious about people, ideas, and culture and committed to creating spaces where women and diverse voices can belong, thrive, and lead.
