Dr Kalpana Sankar’s journey from the world of nuclear physics to that of business is nothing short of spectacular, but it came with the same set of challenges women leaders face every day.

While people kept questioning her ability to lead an organization, she continued breaking through gender barriers and proving her leadership. Over the last two decades, every step she took was put under the microscope, and yet she not only successfully built an impactful NGO with an unwavering mission and value system but also created a sustainable business, both with the objective of helping people make a better life for themselves through education and empowerment.

In The Scientist Entrepreneur: Empowering Millions of Women, Dr Sankar narrates how she co-founded Hand in Hand India in a small room in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, and went on to expand its operations to 18 Indian states and several countries worldwide. This autobiography aims to inspire young people to take up social entrepreneurship and goes beyond her personal story, covering her work with the underserved segments of society. Through anecdotes and reflections, she explains how a clear vision, combined with hard work, can make all the difference.

Dr Kalpana Sankar is a shining example of a woman with passion, grit and empathy.

‘Dr Kalpana Sankar’s life has been an extraordinary journey characterized by resilience, ambition and a commitment to social impact. It will inspire young men and women to become social entrepreneurs and touch the lives of millions.’
Soumya Swaminathan, Former Chief Scientist, World Health Organization (WHO) and Chairperson, M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation

‘This is a fascinating book that weaves together the powerful story of a woman leader who is passionate and results-oriented, yet empathetic and humble at the same time. Amazing story. So many lessons to be learnt for modern women who want to make a difference in the world on their terms. Women can do it all. Kalpana Sankar is an inspiring example.’
V. Kasturi Rangan, Baker Foundation Professor, Harvard Business School

‘In a world where individuals and companies talk the “social impact” talk, but are unable or unwilling to walk the “social impact” walk, Kalpana stands out as someone who couples passion for change with a willingness to work to deliver that change. Hand in Hand, her co-creation, has not only scaled up successfully, stretching beyond its Indian origins, but has done so without compromising its ideals or vision, thanks to her.’
Aswath Damodaran, Kerschner Family Chair in Finance Education and Professor of Finance, New York University Stern School of Business
