Over wine, cheese, and light bites, our guests, including Ranjana and Michael Clark, generous donors supporting Anudip’s Diamond Harbor Center, exchanged ideas on philanthropy, innovation, and the power of education to transform lives. Conversations focused on how Anudip continues to build a resilient, future-ready youth workforce in India, adapting to emerging trends like AI and digital transformation.
From Houston to Delaware, Connecticut, and California, each event has strengthened Anudip’s ties with the Indian diaspora and expanded a circle of allies committed to a shared vision — a future where every young person in India has access to digital opportunity, dignity, and hope.
