“One thing my parents did, they never compromised on my education." - Ruchi Sankhe
Ruchi Sankhe is the founder of Infinity Investment Advisors and LuxeList. Born to grandparents who were refugees from Pakistan, Ruchi's early years were spent constantly moving across India. Despite the challenges, she excelled academically, earning a Master’s in Finance in the USA, where less than 10% of her class were women. With a career spanning nearly three decades in wealth management, Ruchi shares her insights on building a diverse skill set with our host and co-CEO of Avanti Fellows, Vandana Goyal.

Avanti: Yes She Can
In India, girls make up 43% of enrolment in STEM courses - one of the highest in the world. Yet, only 27% of them are likely to enter the workforce and often exit these careers earlier than their male peers. Why is that so and what can be done to bridge this gap? These are the questions we set out to tackle in our brand new podcast, Avanti: Yes She Can.
From leaders at the helm of multi-billion dollar companies to film directors, comedians and social entrepreneurs, we sit down with some exceptional women as we understand their road to success, the bumps along the way and to take us back in time to their childhood to get to know the girl before the woman. Join Vandana Goyal, co-CEO of Avanti Fellows, and our guests, who prove every day that “yes, she can,” and so can you!
