Description
What does reinvention really look like for a woman who has already built a life most people would envy? Minal Srinivasan is a Managing Director, certified executive coach, abstract artist, and one of India's most distinctive ecopreneurs. After 17 years in corporate, she made a deliberate leap into environmental infrastructure and never looked back.
