Speaker Bios
Kajal Desai
Even when Kajal was following the corporate path, she was in a field that, 20 years ago, was still uncommon in the South Asian community. She began her professional career as an Organizational Management Consultant with a Masters Degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. During her time as a consultant, she co-founded Doonya, a dance company that transitioned into the first large-scale Bollywood dance and fitness company. Through her role at Doonya, Kajal has presented and appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Dr. Oz Show, LIVE with Kelly and Michael, The Today Show with Kathie Lee and Hoda, and Great Day Houston. Though Kajal is no longer running the Doonya business, she still leads weekly classes, creates choreography for, and trains other instructors in the program. She also continues her work in fitness, wellness, and dance by teaching mindful movement classes and workshops to kids and adults. Kajal's goal is to spread dance far and wide - for everyone to have the chance to feel the joy of movement and strong connection to the present.
Saya Nagori
Dr. Saya Nagori is the Founding Physician and VP of Medical Affairs of SimpleHealth.com, a company committed to helping increase access to healthcare with a focus in women's reproductive care. She is also the Founder of FemhealthProject.com a community and media platform providing education for patients from doctors. Much of her work in women's health stemmed from her own struggles with PMDD, and her egg freezing journey before she met her now husband, which she publically shared on social media as well as on major media outlets.
