DR MALINI SABA
'Woman of the Moment'

Founder and helmswoman of Saba Group, a company that employs over 5,000 people, operates in over 20 countries and comprises 15 companies across 10 verticals, Dr Malini Saba has helped millions of underserved women and children with her philanthropic efforts. Read on to know more about how she’s effecting change across the world, her passions, and more.

You’re one of the first self-made billionaire women. What is your advice to women on pursuing their passions?

I understand the plight of women in a male dominated world. I want women across the globe to never take no for an answer. They should believe in what they do and take control and ownership of their professional paths by expressing themselves clearly. They need to be advocates for their own interests. I would say to them: Be an iron fist in a velvet glove and never lose your femininity. Life is a journey we must learn to savour, cherish, and embrace with gratitude.

During my life, I have met the best minds and the worst, dealt with frauds and cons, been fooled and bullied, and been sexually harassed and assaulted. Yet I am standing tall to inspire others.

You launched Anannke Foundation with the aim to help at least one billion people. Tell us about it.
