5107: Turning inherited values into institutional philanthropy | Rashi Mehta, founder, Iron Lady Foundation

In this episode, presented by Moneycontrol in collaboration with GivingPi, host Gaurav Choudhary speaks to Rashi Mehta, founder of the Iron Lady Foundation, an organization she built to serve women and girls in India through access to healthcare, education, and everyday necessities. The Foundation's name is a tribute to her mother, Dr. Leela Mehta, the first gynecologist in Rajasthan, who travelled into villages to give free medical check-ups to women. Growing up with that example, Rashi absorbed something that would stay with her long after she left India to build a career in finance and organisational leadership, and co-found Rahi Systems, a Silicon Valley tech company she helped grow into an international enterprise. After years of personal philanthropy, in 2024, Rashi made a deliberate choice to formalize her giving. In this episode, she talks about what it actually takes to turn inherited values into institutional philanthropy.
