The crowning glory of her organizational abilities, NAMASTE FRANCE,  October 2016 in Nantes was entirely conceived and curated by her. Dr. Malini is also the  Founder-Director-Teacher-Choreographer of eminence in Kathak, at BINDI, a non-profit Indo  French Center of Indian Arts, where she has trained numerous French students. She has created a  new teaching protocol for Kathak dance which combines traditional teaching contents with new methods of transmission tailored especially for French students

Academically Dr. Malini holds a Ph.D. in Didactics of Educational Sciences in French,  highlighting the cross-cultural context, from the European University and is a Researcher Professor in International Business Management for MBA students at ISG, Nantes. She has created a special module ‘Doing Business in India’ with a focus on a better understanding of India &  France. She has her credit both in English & French, several scientific publications & paper presentations in international journals & conferences. As an Indian representing France at international events, grounded locally in the hearts of her students and admirers, she has reached out globally as a citizen of the world. Her industrious and integrative approach to work and family has dispelled unfortunate stereotypes about India as an under-developed country. While seamlessly assimilating with the local French lifestyle, her Indian value-based approach has given a unique identity to her and to her activities in France. In the process, she has emerged as a  role model for both Indian and French women

She has built closer links between India, the Indian Diaspora, and France is at the forefront of strengthening the Franco-Indian relationship. While her vision towards global recognition for  Indian dance is driven by her passion for performance, her mission to share the benefits of the art is driven by her passion for teaching. In short, Dr. Malini Ranganathan has never missed an opportunity to showcase the rich; varied, intellectual & cultural heritage of the cradle of all civilizations, that is, India. A true Pravasi Bharatiya Nari.
