A Journey of Leadership, Empowerment, and Unwavering Determination
Academic Foundations
I embarked on my academic voyage at the esteemed Sorbonne University in France, where I delved into the depths of Leadership and Women Empowerment, earning my PhD. This journey was not just about academic prowess but also about understanding the intricate dance of leadership in diverse settings.
Distinguished Career
With over two decades in the Banking and Financial sector, I have navigated through the complexities of this dynamic world. My tenure at illustrious institutions like HDFC Bank, IDBI Bank, Deutsche Bank, and Edelweiss Financial Services has been a blend of strategic business development, efficient operations, and leading high-impact projects. In these roles, I’ve not just participated in the corporate world but have also shaped it.
Fashion Icon & Body Positivity Advocate
My story takes an unexpected turn into the world of fashion. Here, I stand not just as a model but as an embodiment of confidence and grace. Collaborating with high-end brands like Malabar Diamond Jewellery, I use this platform to advocate for Body Positivity, inspiring others to embrace themselves with confidence.
Marathon Runner
Away from the corporate battlegrounds, I find my solace and strength in running. As an avid marathoner and ultra-runner, I have conquered both Indian and international terrains, participating in grueling races like Amsterdam, Berlin, and Tata Ultra. These runs are not just physical challenges; they are a testament to my unwavering determination and resilience, attributes that I carry into every aspect of my life.
Balancing the Roles: A Mother's Journey
Perhaps the most defining role of my life is that of a mother. Juggling a thriving career, athletic endeavors, and modeling, I also embrace the joys and challenges of motherhood, especially as a mother to a special needs child. This journey is one of unconditional love, patience, and learning, shaping me into a more compassionate and empathetic leader.
