Originally from India, Moumita was actively engaged in various community service initiatives including education for the underprivileged, women empowerment as well as fighting against malnutrition throughout her school years. Fascinated by the idea of social entrepreneurship during her studies at Brown University, USA, she decided to pursue a degree in Business Administration with a specialization in entrepreneurship, at the University of Amsterdam, where she currently studies. 

 

She regularly volunteers with several non-governmental organizations across the Netherlands and also helps run an NGO supporting women from marginalized communities in India that she co-found with her mother. 

 

In her free time, she can be found reading biographies in the corner of a quaint cafe, trying experimental cooking, or taking/ teaching dance lessons.
