Profile+ Summary
I am an engineer-turned #journalist. For the past 8+ years, I have been juggling between science, journalism and poetry. Awarded with WEF Exceptional Woman of Excellence 2020 and The Lioness Inspiring ...
Young Women 2018, my career started as an #engineer. As much as I loved engineering, the #writer in me never settled. With appreciation pouring on my blog and equipped with renewed confidence from IIMA, I decided to take the leap.
Indian Institute of Mass Communication (#IIMCDelhi) - the mecca of #journalism in India - embraced me and changed my life. While #BusinessStandard became my bootcamp into the world of media, the transitions during the course of my career carved a serious #editor out of me. Yes, I am more of a desk person! My journey through various educational institutes and government bodies has been incredibly rewarding too. While I have had the opportunity to work with the #RashtrapatiBhavan on few #books and engage with amazingly talented innovators at NIF India, I have also had the chance of learning best practices from some of the best minds in the world at IIM Ahmedabad, IIT Gandhinagar and EDII.
As I kept learning and sharing my experience with wonderful colleagues across the institutes, my most profound memories are from the times I worked on few books that completely changed my career graph and choices. While the #TransformMaharashtra book was launched by the highest state functionaries (CMO) and who's who in Mumbai, the one by #DefenceMinistry was unveiled by then DefMin Nirmala Sitharaman in Kasauli. Such "wow" moments inspired me to take up tougher assignments and kept setting tougher milestones for me. The #awards only added more momentum to the process.
After six years of media/govt experience, #Shivom was my peek into the omnipresent corporate #startup culture where I learnt dealing with unexpected challenges and limited resources. Recently, I joined the Indian School of Business where everyday is a new learning.
