The NCP (SP) on Tuesday appointed Anish Gawande as its national spokesperson. The 27-year-old, founder of Pink List India, the country's first archive of politicians supporting LGBTQ+ rights, is the first openly gay man to be appointed national spokesperson of a major political party.
Gawande was a student of Greenlawns School in Worli and later Cathedral and John Connon School in Fort. He pursued his undergrad degree in Comparative Literature at Columbia University in New York from 2014-18 before going to the University of Oxford (202022), where he was a Rhodes Scholar.
In an exclusive interview with The Free Press Journal, the Mumbai-born Gawande said it was an "exciting opportunity" for him and that he was "proud to join a party that walks the talk on progressive values and gives young people the chance to build a future in politics".
