About this listen

What does it mean to be Indian when you’re born in Dubai, study in Singapore, and build a life in Melbourne?

In this episode of Indian Women Abroad, host Mrinaal Datt sits down with Sonia Sarangi — architect, founder of Andever, and cultural storyteller — to explore how her journey across continents shaped her identity.

Sonia opens up about embracing her many cultural layers, why homes abroad often don’t fit Indian needs, and how creating a “cultural brief” can help design spaces that truly feel like home. If you’ve ever struggled with belonging, identity, or finding comfort in a foreign land, this conversation will speak to you.Sonia's article titled "Reclaiming South Asian Culture in Modern Home Design" for SAARI can be found here: https://saaricollective.com.au/cultur...👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share with your community of women abroad.Subscribe to the Indian Women Abroad newsletter: https://share.hsforms.com/1vwOOwYhnQk...If you liked this podcast, don't forget to like, comment, share and subscribe and follow us on our socials: / indianwomenabroad / indian-women-abroad / indianwomenabroad / indianwomenabroad Or watch now on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN4BdwCRCJg
