What began as a simple idea — to create a space where Indian women in St. Louis could come together, share stories, and build meaningful connections — became an afternoon that exceeded our expectations.
Our inaugural Sakhi Samvaad – With Chai Ki Chuski brought women together for an afternoon of honest conversations, shared experiences, inspiration, laughter, and community.
The event featured a candid fireside conversation with three accomplished women from the St. Louis community:
- Anupama Dixit – Retired Health Scientist, Saint Louis University
- Anu Kabra – RedKey Realty Leaders
- Devi Paruchuri – Vice President of Technology, Equifax
Our panelists generously shared their personal and professional journeys, speaking openly about growth, challenges, reinvention, resilience, and success. Their honesty, authenticity, and encouragement resonated deeply with the women in the room and helped make our very first Sakhi gathering truly meaningful.
Over chai, thoughtful questions, laughter, and conversation, attendees connected with one another in a warm and welcoming environment. Many women left feeling inspired, encouraged, and seen — exactly the kind of experience Sakhi STL hopes to create.
We are deeply grateful to our panelists for sharing their stories, to Turmeric STL for supporting our vision as an event sponsor, and most importantly, to every woman who joined us and helped bring the spirit of Sakhi to life.
The overwhelming encouragement and positive feedback we received reminded us just how meaningful it can be to create intentional spaces for women to connect, learn from one another, and grow together.
Sakhi Samvaad was more than our first event — it was the beginning of a community.Here’s to meaningful conversations, new friendships, and a growing circle of Sakhis.
