In this special edition of the Tech Beyond Gender Podcast, recorded at the serene Art of Living International Centre in Bengaluru, India, I sit down with the extraordinary Bhanumathi Narasimhan, a visionary leader who has dedicated her life to community service.

As the sister of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a globally renowned spiritual and humanitarian leader, and the Chairperson of women’s welfare and child care programs at The Art of Living, Bhanumathi has made an indelible impact through initiatives in education, women empowerment, and environmental sustainability.

In our heartfelt conversation, we explore her journey from growing up in a family steeped in tradition and service to leading transformative programs like:

• 1,200+ free schools through the Gift a Smile project, educating over 100,000 children.

• Empowerment programs for rural women, helping them gain skills, financial literacy, and independence.

• The International Women’s Conference, connecting women globally to create meaningful change.

We also talk about the upcoming 10th International Women’s Conference, happening from February 14–16, 2025, in Bengaluru, and how it continues to inspire women across 111 countries.

Tune in to be inspired by Bhanu Ma's wisdom, vision, and unwavering commitment to creating a harmonious and inclusive society.
