“It began with passion and learning. When I was young, I wanted to be an engineer and then I wanted to teach.

The personal stories of GWP women professionals are different, amazing and can inspire everybody.
“Back in 1991, as a fresh Ph.D. holder in Environmental Biology from the Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, India, I never had a dearth of opportunities to work as a scientist.
