Annu Khot

Attaining a law degree with honors…after being one of few women in my class and collecting my fair share of naysayers. Moving to the US at age 26 and co-founding a tech consulting firm…with no connections or capital. Giving birth to a healthy baby boy…after enduring numerous miscarriages and being told by doctors that becoming a mother naturally may not be possible. Becoming the first Indian-American dispensary owner in Illinois…after hearing the word “no” hundreds of times. As an entrepreneur, proud South Asian, and mother, I feel called to empower others in everything I do.
