In this episode of Ladies Who Lead with Aabha Bakaya, Radha Goenka, Founder of Pehlay Akshar Foundation, opens up about her journey in the social sector. In 2008, witnessing the disparity in the quality of education between private and government schools, she felt compelled to develop programs tailored for first-generation learners. With a focus on nurturing curiosity, critical thinking, and communication skills, Pehlay Akshar Foundation was born, driven by her belief that education, delivered in the right environment, can transform lives.

Radha’s experience in the social sector, combined with her Business Communication degree from the University of Pennsylvania, has shaped impactful initiatives across education, employment, and heritage under the RPG Foundation. Over the past 14 years, she has empowered children, youth, and women, helping them access meaningful opportunities and build brighter futures.
