Mansi has been a colleague at The PRactice and now a dear friend. She has an uncanny ability to lead from the front and take on new challenges and ace them, regardless of the ambiguity, risk or newness. Her passion and infectious energy has seen her contribute to various social impact initiatives during her stint at The PRactice, which was then followed by her inspiring and enterprising move to start her own restaurant. I am sure she will be a force to reckon with wherever and whatever she takes a shot at!
