Dr. Geetanjali Chopra

Womennovator who has immense zest for life and an enthusiastic attitude towards everything she does is Dr. Geetanjali. In April 2014 she began ‘Wishes and Blessings’ her venture, which she recalls as the ambiguous mixture of excitement and nervousness. A decision taken completely from her heart at the cost of leaving a successful academic career that didn’t get the approval she required from loved ones; this step was the foundation towards making her childhood dream come true. ‘Wishes and Blessings’ was envisioned to be a platform for connecting donors with beneficiaries with the aim of spreading happiness and making dreams come true. The thinking behind the enterprise was simple- many of us have unfulfilled wishes while some of us are more blessed and can help others fulfill theirs; in return for which we receive blessings. Hence, the name Wishes and Blessings. It was started by working with visually impaired children and soon it grew to include orphanages, old age homes, and shelters for the homeless. Presently, the company work across age, gender, economic and social barriers and address nine pressing issues including education, food, health, and happiness. She has completed her schooling from the Convent of Jesus and Mary, New Delhi, the college of Lady Shri Ram College for Women and Masters, M.phil, and Ph.D. from the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. In addition, she has also undertaken courses in international law from the Hague and Utrecht University in the Netherlands.
