Driven By Passion

Radhika Chopra founder, no. 3 clive road, Delhi threecliveroad.com

When she was 14 years old, she was involved in a car pile-up that left her neck shattered. Paralysed from the neck down, she spent a year learning to walk again, and had to start writing with her left hand. That same year, she graduated as valedictorian of her high school class. But it’s typical of Radhika Chopra that this story is the last thing she mentions as you prepare to leave her home.

Chopra comes from an adventurous Sikh family and moved to the US when she was nine after her electrical engineer father was offered a job in the US. The family of four (Chopra has an older sister) were the only Indians in a small farming community in Vernon, New Jersey, and her father was the only one wearing a turban. She and her older sister (Nandita Chopra, posted at the US Embassy in Delhi as the India Representative for the US National Institutes of Health) learnt to work hard in the America of the 80s. Chopra went to Wellesley College (Hillary Clinton’s alma mater) to study economics and subsequently worked at the Federal Reserve Bank in the emerging markets sector in Manhattan.
