KANAKAVALLI JOURNAL

Today, as we celebrate Women's Day and all the strong, beautiful women we know, we're delighted to feature the amazing Dr. Renuka David, Kanakavalli’s March Vignette, who has had a life of adventure - she spent her childhood in different parts of the country as the daughter of an Air Force officer, and went on to marry an Army officer, living in some of the most remote border towns...

Charu Srinivasan, Kanakavalli’s February Vignette, is Partner Director of Engineering at Microsoft where she has worked for over two decades, and she is also so much more. She is a woman from a family of strong, independent women, a beginner bonsai gardener, an amateur Carnatic singer and a lover of architecture and beauty.

Kanakavalli’s January Vignette, Priyanka Prasad, is the founder of one of the first Indian fashion blogs High Heel Confidential, and a design entrepreneur. As an Indian expat, Priyanka straddles two cultures and identities, staying closely connected to her roots yet finding a home wherever she goes.

Combining an entrepreneurial spirit with a deep consciousness of the environment, Kanakavalli’s December Vignette Vijay Rajeswari Ramakrishnan is an agripreneur, balancing both business and sustainability.

Riddhi Mukherjee, Kanakavalli’s November Vignette, is a doctoral student, a university professor, a voracious reader, and a lover of saris and all things beautiful.

Dr. Vidya Ram Pradeep, Kanakavalli's October Vignette, grew up in a family of doctors who loved art and beauty as much as they loved medicine. She reminisces about her grandfather’s sharp intellect, her grandmother's gorgeous silk saris and a home filled with stimulating conversation and beautiful objects.
