I’d caught up with Anjali at The Story conference back in February and asked if she’d be up for participating in a recording. We managed to find some time a couple of weeks ago and it was excellent to have a conversation about everything she’s up to these days.
Anjali is the Head of Innovation for phd, a global media agency. She also co-founded Ada’s List, an online community of women in tech and business in the UK, now expanding to the US as well. Anjali regularly writes in industry publications and speaks at a variety of events and conferences. As this is published and in case you’re going too, she will be speaking at the Internet Age Media Weekend in Barcelona from the 7th to the 10th April 2016. She also writes a weekly newsletter and curates a website featuring innovation, startups and new technologies from places away from Western countries focus, called Other Valleys.
We had a fun and fascinating conversation about Anjali’s international upbringing, her interest in TV shows, her sociology studies, her role with phd, Ada’s List and more. Enjoy!
