Our CEO Savinay Chandrasekhar Nathan will do just about anything to support our Mentees! When Alondra Carlos-Ferrales was trying to secure enough scholarships for a full ride to the University of Colorado Boulder, she needed a little extra incentive to continue her hard work. savinay made a bet with her… If she could get a full ride, he would dye his hair pink, just like hers. At MMCO’s graduation, when Alondra revealed she was fully funded to attend CU-Boulder, sav pulled off his ballcap to reveal he kept his word. He’s such a good sport! We're proud to say Alondra is now entering her senior year studying public relations at CU and is currently an intern at Bespoke.
