I dreamed of soaring through the skies as a fighter jet pilot as a child. But, growing up in a middle-class Indian family in the 90s, the career options were often limited to two paths: Engineering or Medicine.

Diverse Work Environments: My career path has taken me from a services-based startup to a product-based Fortune 500 enterprise, a leader in multiple verticals. This has instilled in me the agility of a startup while adhering to the rigorous standards and guardrails of a global enterprise.5.
