TGPC: Growing up, what would you say was your biggest challenge?
Aayushi: My biggest challenge has been achieving my fitness goal. Being a Gujarati who cannot end a meal without sweet and as someone who enjoys chataka and flavours in her life, maintaining a healthy balanced diet was a challenge. But my transformative journey helped me learn, grow and adapt to new lifestyles with grace and calmness. It tested my will power at the same time making me understand that- Progress lies in the Process!

I am very eager to understand and go through this experience of creating bonds and sharing stories while competing in a digital realm. I am super elated to embark on this journey and meet my fellow sisters, virtually 🙂

TGPC: Could you share with us the causes or issues that you are particularly passionate about, and how do you intend to utilize this platform to create an impact?
Aayushi: I started my NGO at the age of 15, and worked tirelessly for the inmates of old age homes. Spending time with them and celebrating festivals and special occasions was our way of bringing joy and companionship in their lives. Over the years we joined hands with Rotary International and since then have been working for women’s healthcare, children welfare and environmental conservation. Presently, being inspired by our PM’s being ‘Vocal for Local’ initiative I am working for the revival of a languished handloom craft of my state.
