Chandrika Tandon: From McKinsey to a Grammy Nomination

She Pivots

Growing up in India, Chandrika Tandon broke with tradition to pursue her education and became a high-powered, glass ceiling-shattering partner at the consulting firm, McKinsey & Company. But a “crisis of spirit” led her to re-evaluate her life, leave behind her corporate position, establish her own company, while simultaneously pursuing her passion: music. In this episode, Chandrika talks with Emily about where she got her love for books, her hunger strike to convince her parents to let her attend college, arriving in New York City during the winter in a sari, her philanthropic work, and her Grammy nomination.
