Last week, on May 6th, former NBA Academy India Women's Camp MVP Sanjana Ramesh caught up with former two-time WNBA Champion Ruth Riley on Instagram Live for #NBATogetherLive
Sanjana Ramesh was part of India's U16 squad for the FIBA Asian Championships that sealed the country's promotion back to Division A by finishing atop Division B. Playing center, through four games, she averaged 6.5 points, seven rebounds, and four blocks.
Over half a year later, in May of 2018, she was announced as one of the campers for the NBA Academy India's first-ever Women's Camp where she was named co-MVP with Vaishnavi Yadav. A few days later at the Basketball Without Borders Asia Camp in India, Ramesh was named MVP among the girls.

Here's their entire conversation on Instagram Live from a few days back:
In November of 2018, Ramesh became the second Indian women ever to receive a Division I basketball scholarship when she signed a National Letter of Intent with North Arizona University.
