I have known and worked with Aradhana for the last 17 years and so proud to observe her evolution as a follow-worthy leader and role model. She is a master strategist with a clear vision for the future. If you expect her to quietly “go along”, be non-confrontational and docile - a stereotype that is common for Indian women you will be surprised as she makes no apologies for who she is. Driven, focussed but also goofy with a distinctly energetic persona when she walks into any room, you feel it immediately. Intellectually a power house, always curious, sharp with a wit to match and really gifted with words, she has the unique ability to inspire change by breaking down complex ideas into easily understandable bite size solutions. One of the most captivating public speakers I have seen in my life - she really comes alive on stage and is a true delight to listen to and watch.

Audience takeaways:
We are facing deep interwoven set of global challenges with climate change, biodiversity loss and inequality. If we view these challenges through an added lens of gender, the complications are fatal to social and economic renewal. Aradhana is one of the most authentic voices in the travel and tourism industry rallying leaders globally to fundamentally rethink tourism as a catalyst and agent of change that can serve humanity better. She is passionate about women in leadership, worker rights and a highly respected industry expert who not only cares deeply about making a positive impact but is obsessed with inspiring change towards helping the world become better and more equal. I can’t think of anyone who puts herself in greater service of the travel and tourism sector and is the biggest advocate for the fact that purpose and profit do not need to be at odds.
I would describe Aradhana as an authentic leader, accomplished analyst, an engaging speaker and an important voice for these times. She is a rebel with a cause - guided by her values. Aradhana has a healthy disrespect for the status quo. She has the courage to lead change with innovative ideas that can be disruptive. If you are a change maker and a visionary leader you will benefit by listening to her insights and supporting her courageous advocacy on issues that must be addressed if we are to create the enterprises if not the world - we say we want. She is inspirational for many young women in the travel industry, and for many seasoned professional women as well. She is someone who stands for women’s and worker’s rights and gender parity in leadership, calling out the facts many choose to ignore. Truly global and passionate about purpose, as a woman she also demonstrates that it is perfectly possible to be a devoted mother and game changer at the same time - including in a highly male dominated industry.
