Change agents in action: Meera Sanyal

A lot of you might not have heard of Meera Sanyal, but she is the current Chairman of ABN AMRO Bank in India. In addition, she is contesting in the Lok Sabha elections as an independent candidate from South Mumbai . She seems to have a comprehensive plan for Mumbai - with solid facts and figures, why's and next steps.You can read about her and her plans on the following website.

I was so happy to see a candidate with a clear vision, and a distinguished record of achievements run for elections. There is so much talk that the 'best' people do not enter Indian politics. Well, this year there are already 3 that I can think of: Meera Sanyal, Shashi Tharoor and Mallika Sarabhai. If you know of someone who is going to be voting in the coming elections, do encourage them to give them a real look.
