She Pivots with Chandrika Tandon

Growing up in India, Chandrika Tandon broke with tradition to pursue her education and became a high-powered, glass ceiling-shattering partner at the consulting firm, McKinsey & Company. But a “crisis of spirit” led her to re-evaluate her life, leave behind her corporate position, establish her own company, while simultaneously pursuing her passion: music. In this episode, Chandrika talks with Emily about:

• Where she got her love for books

• Her hunger strike to convince her parents to let her attend college

• Arriving in New York City during the winter in a sari

• Her philanthropic work

• Her Grammy nomination
