Avanti: Yes She Can! Season 2
<p>Avanti: Yes She Can is back with a brand new season! Last season, our host and co-CEO of Avanti Fellows, Vandana Goyal, spoke to inspiring women who’ve worked their way to the top and built something from nothing. Yet, when we talk about success, it’s hardly ever achieved without the support of those around you – to be precise, without allyship. Joining Vandana this season is her co-host, co-CEO and ally Akshay Saxena. Together they will be talking to successful women and to the allies that have supported them along the way. </p> <p> </p> <p>CREDITS:</p> <p>Hosts & Creative Directors: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/vandana-goyal-a124b630/">Vandana Goyal</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/akshayasaxena/">Akshay Saxena</a></p> <p>Project Manager: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anushree-majumdar-9074125/">Anushree Majumdar</a></p> <p>Project Coordinator: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/saumya-sahu/">Saumya Sahu</a></p> <p> </p> <p>This is a <a href="https://www.maedinindia.in/">Maed in India</a> production.</p> <p>Project Supervisor: <a href="https://in.linkedin.com/in/maemariyam?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F">Mae Mariyam Thomas</a></p> <p>Head of Operations: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-fanthome-b175b4146/">Shaun Fanthome</a></p> <p>Producer: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruchi-sawardekar/">Ruchi Sawardekar</a></p> <p>Sound Edit, Design & Mixing: <a href="https://in.linkedin.com/in/kartik-kulkarni-441b9329?trk=public_profile_browsemap-profile">Kartik Kulkarni</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nihartemkar/">Nihar Temkar</a></p> <p>Director and Editor: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jishnu-guha-ba8773338/">Jishnu Guha</a></p> <p>Production Coordinator: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/natashavakil/">Natasha Vakil</a></p> <p>Show Artwork: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/capefoxalix/">Alika Gupta</a></p> <p>Production Assistant: Eshwari Sajjan, Deepika Gudageri</p> <p>Studio: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rbstudios.in/">R&B Studios</a></p><p><a href="https://www.avantifellows.org/donate-to-a-student" rel="payment">Support the show: https://www.avantifellows.org/donate-to-a-student</a></p>
