About
Born and raised in Kolkata, Indrani Malkani (neé Mukherjee) is a graduate from the Loreto College of the University of Calcutta and is an Ashoka Fellow. Beginning her career with the Taj Group of Hotels, she rose to become the Conventions and Conference Manager of The Taj Palace Convention Hotel, Delhi. She coordinated various National and International Conventions, before moving to Mumbai. Her specialty at work was in Logistics, Co-ordination and Troubleshooting, developing what was commonly known as “people skills”, expertise which remains one of her major strengths in the work she does even today.
In Mumbai, she began to involve herself in civic matters and community issues, particularly contentious ones, where her belief has been to develop sustainable solutions in partnership with the Authorities. Among the organizations she works with are the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), Mumbai Police, various State Government departments and the Election Commission of India and State Election Commission of Maharashtra.
Wanting to expand her reach, she and the other Trustees of V Citizens Action Network (VCAN) launched an interactive web portal www.togethervcan.in in 2014, which deals with multiple issues that affect a Citizen’s daily life on a single platform, as well as a live talk show series titled “TogetherVCAN‘s SOCIAL SANCHAR” with the motto “Interact with your Government from wherever you are”.
