In this episode I am going to share my own story, from growing up in Mumbai to founding a boutique PE firm in London with my husband.  We all have a journey to share, and we can all be an inspiration to others, which is why I think it’s important to open up.  I explain why I became interested in engineering, what motivated me to move to the UK, and how I came to have a career and a life I am truly very proud and grateful of.  I still consider myself that working girl from Mumbai, and despite all the reasons why I shouldn’t be where I am, I still made it, and so can you!    Here are the highlights:  (00:33) Technology has created so many opportunities  (02:30) Shaped by my parents’ work ethic  (07:06) We all need to feel heard  (09:54) I was never excluded for being a girl  (14:36) A traumatic experience  (18:13) Make today count  (21:29) Diving beyond my comfort zone  (27:02) I don’t meet many women at the top  Business of Building celebrates the normal and the regular; the inspiring risk taker; the dreamer in all of us and hear from those who have walked the path before us and dared to dream. We will hear their journey, their stories, and what they learned along the way.  So please subscribe or follow wherever you get your podcasts, and remember to leave a review so others can find us.
