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!

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.
