Bharati (Pinnamaneni) Jacob writes “ we moved back to india in 1993, 2 years after we graduated. I spent initial few years with Lazard india and then moved to venture investing in 2000. It was wonderful to trek with Ellen .. this was the first time I was spending substantial amount of time with her since we graduated! And we didn’t feel the gulf of time gone by and picked up from where we left in 1991 ! Apart from my professional journey, my husband and I raised a wonderful daughter. Couple of years ago, I decided to get off the treadmill of fund raise and focus on things I enjoy! So here we are marching in the Indian Himalayas .. Hope to see more of you visit india and enjoy our majestic mountains

Ellen (Epstein) Brunsberg writes “Friendships are so much more important than many of the things we spend our time on. On January 1st, while sitting on a plane flying home to New York after a ski trip in Switzerland with my family, I received a lovely New Year’s message from Bharati (Pinnamaneni) Jacob. She asked when I was planning to visit India. I jokingly replied, “I’ll buy the ticket now.” She then got specific—her friends were planning their annual trek and she invited me to join. Just five minutes earlier, I had declared that 2025 would be my “year of possibilities,” and suddenly, I had my first test of that resolution. I sent the deposit immediately. Since we haven’t kept in close touch, feel free to check out LinkedIn for the full picture of my professional journey. In short, I had an amazing career in investment banking, specializing in asset-backed finance. Initially based in New York, I took the opportunity to move to London on 1997—what was meant to be a two-year stint turned into twenty. We raised two daughters there and eventually returned to the U.S. in 2017. (By the way, one of my daughters graduated from Wharton in 2021.) Currently, I’m a Senior Advisor to Cain International, where I serve on several of their boards. I’m still exploring what’s next, but somehow, I keep ending up on planes to reunite with the wonderful friends I’ve made over the years. Sadly, I lost my beloved husband two years ago, which is also why I’ve chosen to make 2025 my “year of possibilities.” Despite the deep sadness, I’ve come to appreciate how important it is to embrace life and take chances. And so, here we are—Bharati and I—marching through the Himalayas.
