The Modern India Podcast #72-The First and Only: Ajaita Shah’s Vision for a 100-Million-Woman Economy.
Update: 2025-06-01
Description
From New York to rural India, Ajaita Shah’s journey is anything but typical. In this episode, we dive into the founding of Frontier Markets and her bold goal: to empower 100 million women through She-Leads Bharat by 2030.
We ask:
– What sparked her commitment to rural women’s leadership?
– How did she challenge social norms and win trust in male-dominated systems?
– What setbacks taught her the most about resilience and scaling impact?
– How are rural women quietly driving climate action and digital finance?
– And what must change in funding and policy to truly unlock women’s economic power?
Ajaita doesn’t just talk systems change—she lives it. Tune in for a masterclass in purpose-driven leadership.
