About Rina

Rina Madhani leveraged the global perspective she built at NYU's Global Liberal Studies program into a co-founding role at a startup built alongside fellow NYU alumni. Her trajectory reflects a growing trend: GLS graduates, shaped by NYU's multi-campus global education model, are unusually well-positioned to build businesses that operate across cultures and markets. Madhani's story is one of several from the GLS program that demonstrate how a liberal arts education with an international core can be directly entrepreneurial.
