I change very quickly," Natasha Malpani Oswal says. And having read her soon-to-release poetry book, we agree with that statement. There's a reason it's titled Boundless.

Oswal, 30, wears many hats (collected at Oxbridge and Ivy League universities). After having spent 20 years in Mumbai, she stepped out of Oxford and Cambridge as a scientist and then headed to Stanford for its MBA programme. Then, after 10 years of being away from India, she came back to the city last September to head Dice Media, a digital media start-up and storytelling platform.
