"I’ve learned the power of resilience and continuous growth-mindset. There were times when I felt like an outsider, but I held onto the wisdom shared by my mentors: ‘Your unique perspective is your strength, your leadership style will not be the same as someone else’s, and that brings value to the world.’ To all the aspiring women founders, CEOs, and innovators, remember that your voice, your vision, and your passion are needed in this field. Embrace your uniqueness, lean on your community, and never let anyone dim your light. Together, we can redefine the future."

"Take the charge" Lets not have an unconscious bias of technical proficiency with men and structure and program management with women. Let's make knowledge gender independent" As I grew in my career with much more added responsibilities and in core tech ecosystem I started to observe a trend and unconscious bias and perspective that women tend to me more structured and are excellent program mangers. which undoubtedly we are but it should not overshadow our subject matter expertise in any area that we bring to the table. Hence I still to the day make intentional effort to give and take opportunities to shine as SME in my field. Because as women in leadership role we have critical role to play to identify, elevate and empower a new generation of women leaders who can take the stage for what they like to be shined for."
