Kalki Subramaniam is an inspiration not only to the transgender community but to society as a whole. This multi-hyphenated writer, activist, media personality, and actor, has been at the forefront fighting for transgender rights in India.

Kalki will be among a panel of dignitaries who have been invited to speak at the two-day India Conference organised by Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School. Speakers at past editions have included prominent personalities like Kamal Hassan and Shashi Tharoor.
“When I got the invitation on January 1, I was pleasantly surprised. This would be my chance to share with the world the beauty behind the transgender movement in India. I will be talking about this historical movement that also has a strong spiritual context. I will be providing a global context as well and putting the spotlight on how the Indian movement differs from the Western scenario,” she says.
