Vanita Rungta

Vanita has a comprehensive breadth of experience having handled a gamut of assignments for the last 26 years. Creativity and an eye for beauty led her to embark on an entrepreneurial journey as an interior designer after having worked almost eight years in audit and advisory services.

She is a volunteer with Creative Dignity where she strives to provide a sustainable ecosystem for the artisans through immediate relief and long term scalability. Post pandemic, she has been working to connect artisans to online marketplaces, teaching them photography and helping design catalogues for them. After the second wave she has personally overseen the distribution of food and medical kits to more than 1000 families in West Bengal. Vanita has devoted herself to the empowerment of artisans, standing up for an inclusive future for them, inspiring a lasting change in their communities. Born in kolkata, she has lived in multiple cities and two countries and adapted to the cultural and social ethos. An avid traveller, she enjoys reading and theatre. She is a founder member of a theatre group called "Theatricians". Vanita strongly believes in the philosophy of "Ubuntu" or "humanity towards others". Each person is unique with different strengths and skills and through mutual support they can help each other to complete themselves. That we achieve ourselves by sharing ourselves with others, and caring for those around us. "Ndiri nekuti tiri" - I am because we are.
