I read a beautiful line: "Even nature takes breaks, Summer, Rainy, Winter, Autumn". As mothers, we tend to prioritize our children over our careers and I decided to put a break on my high profile sales career of 8 years as a Corporate Investment Advisor. While there was no guilt about choosing a different direction, I started to feel a void as my kids grew up. That's when I reset the ignition and started working towards my professional dreams and goals of life again. It took me more than a year to find an organization willing to bet on me with my career break and no prior work experience of working in the UK. I joined an IT Services company in London as Business Consultant in Sales – a role very different from what I had experience in. It took hard work, determination and family support to create a space for myself in this new role, organization, and the industry. I pulled out all stops and it was a moment of great pride when I brought in the largest deal across my organization. It felt great to have gathered myself a second time as an ambitious woman ready to achieve newer heights and being able to balance work and life. My head is held high when my children say that they are proud of me, that I manage a whole lot at the same time.
I joined Birlasoft in January 2020 and I am a part of the new business sales team in the UK. I work out of the London office and my role involves getting new logos, business and after incubation handing it over to account teams.
As a learning I recommend to not stop dreaming and to be passionate. Make up your mind and come out of your comfort zone - everything is possible!

Education Evangelist, Mother, Combat Woman, Leader, Birlasoft
The life of an ambitious small towner is challenging, baffling, exhausting, but never dull.
I grew up in Saharanpur, UP – in a social structure prepared to host the groom, but ill-prepared to accept their ambitious daughters; where savings are for the girl's marriage but never for her education. It was not easy to dream and want more from life.
I had my father's blessings, and my mother's unconditional love, and together we fought the prevailing gender norms. Despite advice from the elders on "what is right" and "financial priorities", I came to Delhi to study – I was adamant about it. I lost my father while I was in college, but I was determined to not give up. I was in a difficult financial situation and I worked alongside my studies. My father's "don't ever drop your education" advice powered me along. I have not looked back since.
I have been proudly sponsoring education for children of all of my domestic helpers since the time I started earning. I actively mentor young women from my hometown on education and career options. The advise and support that has helped me is what I pass along.
I am a Program Manager, Messaging & IT Service Delivery Leader with diverse experience. At Birlasoft I work with Corporate Operations on challenging Projects.
I continue to dream and be stubborn about what I want – stubborn to keep going but never stopping. Today I am a blessed wife, a happy mother, and a combat woman who believes in spreading positivity.

Hailing from an orthodox background, managing family was a big expectation from me. It included taking care of my son who had congenital kidney issues and had to be under medical care multiple times in his childhood. This led to a 10-year gap after my education, making it difficult to find my feet in the corporate world. In my opinion, my biggest attributes which led to my growth were a never-say-no attitude and grabbing any opportunity which knocked on my door. This attitude helped me in 2017 when I set my eyes on completing the Everest Base Camp. As I trained to build up my fitness and stamina, I suffered an ankle ligament injury which hampered my movement for 6 weeks. "Trek at your own risk!", advised my orthopedic surgeon. And that's exactly what I did. At 17598 ft from sea level, I conquered one of the most difficult phases of my life! Riding high on this confidence, last year, I went on a 300 km cycling tour of Lake Constance, through Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
I am an Agile practitioner and trainer. In Birlasoft, I manage the PMAspire program within the L&D team (Project Management Certification Program).
To get through life and chase dreams, you need a never-ending tank of will power and a sprinkle of opportunistic tenacity. I'd like to remind all my fellow dreamers that having a vision is just the start. The real journey begins when you start working towards achieving it!!

"Anne Frank (German born diarist) has very rightly said "Everyone has inside of her a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be, how much you can love, what you can accomplish, and what your potential is".
I truly cherish the overwhelming support which I received from the pillars of this organization during the thick and thins of my career. I was invariably encouraged to demonstrate the potential to 'break the monotonous' and achieve plethora of successes. 'Never give up' was the primary mantra which I have wholeheartedly leveraged from this organization.
Unequivocally, Birlasoft supports every individual without any bias to nurture and grow with full zeal. I am truly privileged and proud to be a part of this family! "

"I joined Birlasoft a little less than 4 years ago, as part of an incubation unit with a charter to conceptualize, create, sell and deliver world class consulting and transformation capabilities. It has been an exhilarating journey since then till date to lead - and be part of a high performing team of specialized consultants, and SMEs that help deliver outstanding value to clients every day.
I love working here, because it provides me the freedom, support, enablement and grooming to articulate and realize the vision for my unit & myself. Birlasoft helped me realize facets of myself that I wasn't even aware of; thereby inculcating a 'Can Do' attitude that will remain with me forever.
The leadership team provides freedom to bring new ideas to the table, evaluate diverse view points on critical subjects, and experiment, learn and grow - both as a professional and an as an individual."

The company culture helps me balance both my professional, as well as personal life seamlessly. Thank you, Birlasoft! "
