Dhvani Mehta is one of the most accomplished persons I've ever met - a consistent academic overachiever, Rhodes Scholar (first lawyer from Mumbai to win the Rhodes scholarship in 25 years at the time she was awarded the scholarship!), a PhD in environmental law from the University of Oxford, co-founder of one of the most respected think-tank's in India, and an actively involved lawyer/policy advisor in the filed of medical law in India.

In today's episode Dhvani talks to us about what a potential applicant needs to know about the Rhodes scholarship, how to craft a career in legal policy as a lawyer, and her learnings through her years in law. There are a ton of useful nuggets in here, so make sure you listen to it fully!

She speaks candidly and passionately about how the law provides a platform for social impact, the skills required to be a good litigator, tips to be a better lawyer, and practical insights into the world of dispute resolution. 

The entire conversation is extremely valuable and I'd encourage everyone to listen to it until the end. We'd LOVE to hear what you thought about this episode, what resonated with you, and what you took from this. Do write, comment, download, share this and help us grow the channel!
