Srishti Bakshi works to address gender-based violence by increasing mobility options for women.

Srishti Bakshi is on a mission to understand and end gender-based violence in India.

After meeting more than 100,000 women on an epic on-foot journey of 3800kms across India from Kanyakumri to Srinagar Kashmir, she created a documentary film, WOMB: Women Of My Billion. She identified a key issue at work in preventing women from escaping violence: inhibited mobility.

As a result, Bakshi now co-founded MOWO Fleet, an initiative which trains and employs women as delivery drivers and taxi operators, providing them with the opportunity to earn both income and independence.

Bakshi was awarded the Commonwealth Points of Light award for India by Queen Elizabeth II and named UN Women's Empower Women Champion for Change, an award dedicated to empowering women to achieve their full economic potential.

She holds a master's degree in business administration from The Indian School of Business, Hyderabad.
