Maushami Chetty – Keynote Speaker

Maushami has a unique story spanning the world of business and the world of adventure cycling and social activism. She has worked as a corporate attorney at one of South Africa’s top 5 law firms as well as a human rights lawyer at an international level. She completed her LLB at the University of the Witwatersrand, her LLM at the University of Pretoria and a diploma in Humanitarian law from the Abo Academy in Finland. She has delivered talks in Asia and Europe. Disenchanted with how slowly the wheels of justice turn she started a grassroots humanitarian project based in India in order to improve the sanitation and water quality in a group of villages. To raise funds for this project she and her three team mates undertook a mammoth journey of almost 10 000kms from Germany to India by bicycle. A novice cyclist, the journey taught her lessons about perseverance, overcoming mental barriers and embracing life outside of one’s comfort zone.
