Radhika moved to U.S.A all by herself in her early twenties. All she had was no more than a bag, a handful of hopes and dreams along with her unwavering determination. She studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York, while working full time and supporting herself.

Raised amongst mainly boys in a small conservative town in India, I would argue for girl’s rights and get stressed all the time”. In her early thirties, Radhika was diagnosed with Lupus. Lupus is an incurable auto-immune disease that affects mostly women. But, she was not the one to lose hope. She started practicing yoga and successfully put her disease in remission and pursue her dreams again.
