DELHI, INDIA (January 11, 2024) -- There’s a particular energy in Delhi. It’s as if anything could happen at any moment. It’s a city full of juxtapositions – a city of ancient history and high-tech start-ups, of laborers and luxury, of censure and celebration. Over the course of seven days, 91ÊÓƵWorld’s India Country Advisor, Aruna Dasgupta, and Vanessa Martinez, assistant director of international community relations, traversed the Indian capital meeting with 91ÊÓƵalumni from across the city’s cultural, political, and professional spectrum.
