#47, How masking her identity led 27 year old Shana Gujral to start inclusion focused startups

Shana Gujral is no typical 27 year old. With at least three startups under her belt, her deep insights about herself and the cultures she lives in led her to create companies aiming to solve inclusion issues. Having masked her identity for a long time, she learnt to accept it through being on the Asian radio network where she learnt more about her culture. We talk about starting businesses, raising funds, managing burnout, accepting yourself and not following a traditional path. Shana is an entrepreneur, investor, radio presenter & DJ. I don’t know what this girl can’t do.
