Shradha Agarwal

ContextMedia co-founder Shradha Agarwal has always had a passion for communication and launched her first media enterprise at age 9. While building ContextMedia from the ground up, she branded the healthcare media company as for-benefit, a successful for-profit enterprise that exists for social benefit, and focused on organizational culture architecture. Having led ContextMedia's product developments strategies for media and technology, Shradha currently designs and oversees the expansion initiatives that have doubled the company's growth year-over-year.

Shradha is also an angel investor, conference speaker and startup advisor, mentoring at the Founder Institute, serving on the board of Northwestern Student Holdings, and participating at YEC, 1871, CEO, IIEE, The Executives' Club of Chicago and Chicago Council on Global Affairs. Shradha, along with co-founder Rishi, was honored at the White House as Empact's top 100 young entrepreneurs in the country. Shradha was also recognized by Crain's Chicago Business as one of the Tech 50 individuals leading Chicago's startup wave and inducted into the 40 Under 40 list of young achievers in 2012.

As a broadcast journalism alum of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University with a concentration in economics and international relations, Shradha's prior experiences have taken her into newsrooms at NBC and CLTV. At NU she founded the Northwestern Business Review and served as the Editor-in-Chief developing the mission, plan and operations for the bi-annual magazine still distributed. She was featured by the NU Alumni Association as 1 of 30 most promising graduates in her class of 2,000 students.

Having lived in Delhi, Calcutta and Singapore, Shradha says she's drawn to big cities. Now living between Manhattan and Chicago, she loves the energy of the former and the warmth (all pun intended) of the latter. A speaker of five languages, she enjoys traveling and has been through Europe, America, Africa and Asia fascinated by learning new cultures. Shradha is also a music and dance enthusiast, having once run her own dance troupe fusing Contemporary and Classical forms.
