Shweta Teckchandani may be born and raised in India, but after residing in the Bay Area for a while now, she believes she is home away from home.

When she’s not running around hospitals completing her rotations, she is out and about representing the Bay Area Indian community. But there is more than just modeling that meets the eye with Shweta Teckchandani. Meet Your Neighbor talks to Shweta as she speaks all things Bay Area and being Miss India.

After graduating from Berkeley, Sandeep Sood began his own software development firm, Monsoon Company, which caters to clients including HP, Microsoft, Cisco and Wells Fargo. However, besides doing what most Desi’s in the Bay Area prefer to be a part of (read: software in all facets), he also founded Badmash.tv, an animation studio. Over time, his animations have gained an immense fan following as he tackles a number of social, ethical, political and modern day issues in an animated-satire form. Each of his cartoons are based on or catered to Desi’s. ACK!
