“My father is not only an inspiration to the world, but also to those of us who know him well. It’s been interesting, thrilling and also very fulfilling to work with my brother and father, as well as the incredible team involved in launching The Chopra Well,” said Mallika Chopra, also an author and founder of media company Intent.com.
“My sister and I have had the incredible good fortune to grow up around great minds who are always pushing the boundaries of innovation and imagination,” added Gotham. “Now – because of the technological tools we have at our disposal, YouTube most notably – we are able to help evolve this community of thinkers to a whole new stratosphere. We no longer need to evangelize change, we can do it, and be it, and share it with one another. And frankly speaking, I think there is an urgency to all of this – we need to rethink the world in which we want to live starting now.”
