Bio
Rashi Mehta is a global entrepreneur and philanthropy leader whose work spans technology, education, women’s leadership and community empowerment. She co-founded Rahi Systems and played a central role in growing it from a small Silicon Valley start-up into an international technology company operating in more than 25 countries before its acquisition by Wesco, a Fortune 200 organization.
A passionate advocate for women and youth, Rashi studied Executive Coaching at UC Berkeley and has coached CEOs, CFOs and senior leaders across major industries. She further deepened her expertise in systems change and strategic philanthropy through programs at Stanford PACS and the Centre for Strategic Philanthropy.

In 2024, Rashi founded Iron Lady Foundation in memory of her mother, Dr Leela Mehta, a pioneering gynaecologist whose life of service inspired generations. The ethos of Iron Lady Foundation is rooted in a simple belief: every woman and every child deserves dignity, opportunity and the chance to rise. Through education, healthcare, clean water, sanitation and women’s economic empowerment, the Foundation is creating community-led pathways that uplift women, strengthen families and spark long-lasting generational change.
Rashi’s philosophy is grounded in one powerful truth: strong women do more than lead, they redefine generations.
