I have also launched a Wearable Technology company with Georgia Institute of Technology that will empower women & children for their own safety (www.imsafe.community). Proceeds from here will help women around the globe.

I grew up a free spirited girl and my parents encouraged me to do what I want and explore all the passions I had within me. I danced and I painted and I dreamt! I had a great childhood! By 19 I had found the love of my life and got married and had 2 beautiful children. My husband's dream of higher education brought us to USA. Living in Campus town of University of Florida, I was driven to educate myself again. This time I did a BS in Computer Science with a vision of creating Children's games. Launched online retail gift store, learnt a lot but ran out of money and had to close the business. Joined GE Energy business and became a successful Sales Leader.

After 13 years, I decided to follow my passions. I have made a "How to..." video explaining Ganesh Pooja for the benefit of Indian-Americans. Proceeds from here will go to build the most unique temple in India. I continue to paint and have the goal of having a one woman show one day!
