A bit about Manasa and why she interviewed Monica: I am interviewing Asian women enterpreneurs as part of my thesis for my MA in english studies at the University of Copenhagen – My thesis explores female entrepreneurship, with a special focus on women from India and the South Asian women from the diaspora in Britain. It is a comparative framework of their respective developments within entrepreneurship, with regard to the difference in their external environments and access to resources. It has more of a socio-cultural aspect to it, rather than a business focus. ![]() As part of the post 2013 Asian Women of Achievement award events – this year’s winners were invited by Mrs. Samantha Cameron to the Prime Minister’s residence 10 Downing Street for tea on the afternoon of 5th June. The event saw Monica Thandi, founder of the Trust and other Asian Woman of Achievement Award winners enjoying a lovely afternoon and getting to speak about what they are passionate about while they shared their stories over a very British cup of tea, scones and crumpets. Monica received the 2013 Asian Woman of Achievement for Sport during a gala evening at the Hilton Park Lane, London on the 15th of May. |
