Who I am.

Kshama Rangan is an engineer-turned-social-entrepreneur who redesigns the systems that decide who gets to earn, compete, and belong. After a decade building large-scale technology programmes for global institutions — including Capital One and Lloyds TSB, across the UK and India — she turned that systems-thinking to a harder problem: why capable people are still locked out, and how to design them back in. That became the Kshamata Group (Bengaluru): four ventures spanning women's livelihoods (STREE), the Ability Sports League (India's IPL-style wheelchair cricket tournament), inclusive technology (KST Solutions), and inclusion research (Kshamata Innovation Foundation). Her guiding idea: inclusion by design — belonging engineered in from the start, not bolted on afterwards.
