Welcome to  Episode 9 of Everywhere We Belong. We particularly enjoyed this one, as Parmita's take on life is a very unique one. Her NRI story and insights on creativity, finance in the midst of transition (from Canada to India; Schneider Electric to being self-employed) and thoughts on general direction in life are sure to be of value to all listeners.
