What happens when you attend a LadyDrinks event?
I believe in creating teaching moments by putting successful people in business in front of you. Events are traditionally interviews and fireside chats with a CEO, an expert or author for learning and self development. We also host out of the box networking events.such as skydiving retreats, wine masterclasses with Sothebys, back stage tour of Lincoln Center before a performance of the Nutcracker. I introduce each attendee individually and you get one-on-one coaching with our guest speakers/experts. You are in a curated intimate gathering of 15 women who are already culturally attuned to your challenges and cultural hurdles. Now lets get to the depper conversations quicker.
What happens if you hire me to speak?
Corporates typically bring me in to speak about best practices around networking, since I’ve built a large one. Brand building, since I’ve built a brand. Aggressiveness vs. Assertiveness and what does it mean in the workplace. I’ve also learned TikTok for business. The platform is a place to microvlog and brand oneself as a thought leader.

How LadyDrinks started
When I announced to my Indian immigrant parents that I wanted to become a television anchor, they didn’t have the emotional or financial bandwidth to support this dream. At the age of 18, I left home. I paid for college. I paid for graduate school. I paid for every move around the country to come to New York City to become a business news anchor for the last 20 years.
I realized that I had installed other strong men and women who believed in me and believed in my dream in the absence of family. I was a master at building the right support systems for my own success. What if I started to create this for other South Asian women? But I got you there faster.
I leverage my journalism to book speakers, CEO’s and experts to create teaching moments. This anchors each event. The room is curated. The women are already familiar with to your cultural challenges to your career. Now let’s get to the deeper conversations about success quicker.
