Kanika Dewan • Ka Design Atelier
Healing through COVID-19
Hailing from a diverse background, Miss Kanika Dewan was born an Indian, raised in the Middle East, and educated in England and the United States and has worked across several continents. Recognized as one of the top 40 Global Leaders by The Wharton School of Business, Kanika has been awarded several Entrepreneur Of The Year accolades on an international level and was recently selected as a ‘Young Global Leader’ (YGL) for the World Economic Forum.
Driven by a desire to push envelopes and change global paradigms, Kanika has constantly reinvented herself, leaving investment banking and then becoming an entrepreneur in the male-dominated industry of construction and design and is now pioneering various innovative programs in design and construction on a global level.
Kanika has earned a place in the ‘Guinness Book of World Records’ for her work and, as one of the few women at the forefront of major infrastructure projects in Asia, journalists have lauded her for designing and building all stone works and finishes at some of the world's largest airports: The New Delhi International Airport: T3 & Mumbai International Airport. In addition to her passion for innovation & design, Kanika's desire to make the world a better place is the fuel behind the development of her environmentally conscious, mobile housing plan for low income individuals, refugee crises and disaster relief.
As a seasoned public speaker, Kanika's experiences dealing with gender non-parity in the world of design & construction in some of the most difficult regions in India & the Middle East have inspired others as they range from handling abuse in the workplace to escaping physical violence. Kanika has often been asked to speak on these issues during her various Keynote speaker roles at international events including the World Efficiency Solutions Summit under the patronage of President Macron, the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, and the World Economic Forum in Jordan, amongst many others.

What is ‘Daily Pulse?’
With self-isolation measures and lockdowns in place, the need for connection has never been more real. We've collaborated with influencers, CEOs, and celebrities from around the world to launch the 'Daily Pulse'. Taking no more than 10 minutes a day, it is a free global initiative designed to connect humans around the world.
Every day, we'll be releasing a new session lovingly curated by influencers and thought leaders such as Anthony Pangilinan, David Hertz from Gastromotiva, and David Choi, where they'll share insights into their lives and their thoughts as they venture through the same uncertain times as you and me.
As we journey through this pandemic together, we also hope to shine a light on humankind and your unique perspective. Whether it’s inspiring the world with heartwarming quarantine stories, reflecting through poems, or sharing what makes you laugh, we'd love for you to share it with us.
Life's more fun when you’re living life in them. Join the conversation here: learn-gnowbe.com/daily-pulse
