Siriforce is a boutique QA services agency that bridges the talent/opportunity gap between Silicon Valley and East Africa through a distributed workforce model. Shipra’s goal in creating Siriforce is to challenge conventional expectations about how professional, high-quality QA work gets done -- and by whom. Drawing on the skills of “unlikely” professionals -- mothers in hijabs, urban youth, refugees of war -- Siriforce is setting out to prove that everyone, no matter how they look or where they’re from, is equally capable and deserving of opportunity. Born of her experience as a design leader, entrepreneur, global citizen, and mother, Siriforce is an intimate expression of Shipra’s deepest values and vision for the world.

INKOMOKO (previously African Entrepreneur Collective) works with micro and small entrepreneurs, including refugees, to create jobs, improve livelihoods, and develop thriving communities across Africa.

As a design facilitation consultant, Shipra guides cross-functional and distributed teams to achieve internal alignment on the core problems they are trying to solve, so that they build products and processes that truly serve. Shipra believes that including all voices in the creative process generates better solutions than any single person could achieve on their own. She therefore teaches every team member, no matter their assigned role, to be a designer: to listen to multiple perspectives, challenge the status quo, and build a shared vision of what could be. As a thought leader on remote work and distributed teams, she specializes in teaching teams to collaborate across time zones, cultures, and knowledge silos. Her most satisfying moments are when team members realize how much they were missing out on before they discovered how to work across invisible boundaries. After going through her process, team members come away with a sense of mutual purpose and pride.
