Why This Exists.
I had two very different births. My first happened to me. My second showed me what was possible when a woman walks in informed, supported, and heard. The difference between those two births wasn't luck. It was information.
That difference is what Project Born in India is trying to make possible for every woman in India. I spent 15 years in data and analytics, most recently at LinkedIn. In 2026 I left to build something I couldn't stop thinking about. The archive is growing every week. The first goal is 100 stories.
