About the Author
Swati Pandey is a distinguished bureaucrat whose twentysix-year-long journey across India Post, the Department of Atomic Energy and the Government of Maharashtra has been defined by innovation, empathy and impact.
An expert in infrastructure and project management, she currently serves as Vice Chairman and Managing Director of the Maharashtra Airport Development Company, where she is responsible for pioneering aviation projects like the Shirdi Airport and South Asia’s largest Flying Training School in Amravati.
A National Award-winning filmmaker (Elephants Do Remember, 2019) and author of Dawn Under the Dome, she brings together policy and storytelling with rare finesse. As Postmaster General of Mumbai, she conceptualized Project Kamathipura – a Harvard-recognized case on the financial inclusion of sex workers – and led the restoration of the iconic Mumbai GPO. Swati is a recipient of the Homi Bhabha Award of Excellence, a TEDx speaker, an Indian School of Business (ISB) alumna, a textile connoisseur and a conservation enthusiast.
