Dipa Swaminathan

Dipa Swaminathan is an experienced Harvard-educated lawyer but is best known as the founder of an initiative to help migrant workers in Singapore, ItsRainingRaincoats.     She took up the cause of migrant workers when it was not a glamourous issue. The story of her encountering two labourers caught in a thunderstorm on her street, taking them home, and saving one of them from a suicide attempt went viral in 2015 and eventually led to the birth of ItsRainingRaincoats (IRR).     IRR has gone from two volunteers in 2015 to more than 1500 volunteers today, and more importantly, has galvanised the country towards this cause. To quote the Singapore Ministry of Manpower, “What was a one-woman initiative has now become a nationwide movement.”      Dipa is a two-time recipient of the President’s Volunteerism and Philanthropy Award (2017 and 2020), has been included in Tatler Asia’s 100 Most Influential in the Impact Space for 2020, and has many other accolades to her name.
