Mallika Sarabhai

Art mirrors life and shows people what they need to see, not what they want to see.' The one rule Mallika Sarabhai has followed in her life is to not follow any rules. A danseuse, choreographer, publisher, activist, writer, actor and politician, she is the master of all trades and fearless in each role. Breaking down barriers and creating her own vocabulary of leadership, it is not hard to imagine that if her father, Vikram Sarabhai, were alive, he would have applauded Mallika for the legacy that she has both upheld and made her own. In every way, she is a custodian of her legendary family's steadfast values. For someone whose life has never seen a dull moment, Sarabhai has truly seen it all.
