Visionaries behind Crafting Bharat

Darshan Shah and Soniya Kundnani, first-generation entrepreneurs, co-founded NewsReach in 2018. Crafting Bharat is a flagship initiative by NewsReach that celebrates the individuals and organizations driving meaningful change across Bharat. What started as the Crafting Bharat Podcast, a platform to share startup journeys, has grown into a dynamic movement—one that not only showcases inspiring stories but also honors the lasting impact they create.
