Sometimes we have to look beyond the obvious to derive inspiration and forge new paths and partnerships. Celebrating International Women's Day #IWD25 with key partnership and fundraising for DRISHTEE, a 501c3 non profit organization dedicated to serving rural women entrepreneurs at the bottom of the pyramid. Incredibly gratifying to see the progress they have made in service of the rural communities over the past couple of decades. I was highly encouraged at the response to our sold-out musical karaoke & dinner event last evening as the multitalented #ASEI Silicon Valley team not only organized the event flawlessly but also performed to lilting tunes of old and new Bollywood songs.
