MARKETING WITH AI: SUMEDHA CHATTERJEE | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Shilpa Jain
Rather than any degree, being a marketer is a perpetual case of curiosity and drive. Curiosity to constantly challenge the status quo, be hungry to learn new skills, to constantly reinvent oneself, and be always customer centric and ready to experiment.
THE PHARMA INDUSTRY: NILANJANA BASU | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Shilpa Jain
Freedom is extremely important – freedom of speech, freedom of taking actions that one feels right- one struggles if there is a financial dependence. That saps confidence of the overall personality. To become self reliant, becoming financially independent is the first and foremost step – the rest will follow.
FINANCE, TRANSFORMATION & STRATEGY: ANANYA SUNEJA | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Shilpa Jain
It has been all about being open to opportunities, looking for spaces to learn, having the confidence in my learnability and the passion to deliver on results.
CREATIVE WRITING: JANE DE SUZA | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Shilpa Jain
We need to find something within ourselves to anchor us. A job in its most basic form, gives us this. Financial independence and the recognition of one’s work by professionals and peers are strong pillars of self-worth.
REAL ESTATE AND ADVISORY: SEEMA HARSHA | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Shilpa Jain
Financial independence is highly empowering, the confidence that a person gets when they have the knowledge on where to invest and how to manage their own wealth, it gives you a freedom that cannot be expressed.
PSYCHOLOGY & PSYCHOTHERAPY: HVOVI BHAGWAGAR | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Shilpa Jain
I think for a woman financial independence is actually a state of mind. Learning to live within a budget, avoid overspending, saving money and investing wisely require developing character traits rather than financial acumen.
AVIATION: KANIKA TEKRIWAL | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Shilpa Jain
To the women trying to make it in the big bad world of business: it may seem impossible, but it’s kind of fun to do the impossible, isn’t it? Don’t give up. As I always say, use every no as a stepping stone to success.
GAME DESIGN: POORNIMA SEETHARAMAN | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Shilpa Jain
There is no formula to success. Don’t give up. Speak up; for yourselves and for others who can’t. Sometimes our baby steps in the right direction may end up helping someone else. It’s okay to be emotional. It’s okay to be not. You are your own person. Be you.
PUBLIC RELATIONS: MALLIKA SONI | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Shilpa Jain
I don’t think there’s a set roadmap to getting into this space. You need to self educate a lot. There’s something new to learn every day and experience will teach you more than any book ever could in my opinion.
WRITING AND JOURNALISM: AASTHA ATRAY | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Shilpa Jain
Worrying is the worst roadblock. Don’t look at the challenges, think of solutions. Ask yourself, “so what can we do now?”
DATA SCIENCE & PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS: IQBAL KAUR | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Shilpa Jain
“In my opinion, we would see two kinds of talent doing very well in analytics world – people with extremely strong programming & technical skills so that they can build analytics languages & write algorithms and people with strong business domain expertise to build smart user-interface solutions.”
A CAREER IN LAW: N.S. NAPPINAI | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Shilpa Jain
I honestly do not believe that at any point of time in my career, I paid much attention to either gender or ‘glass ceilings’. I grew up in an environment that fostered equality. I chose specializations that were male-dominated and did so not to defy any norms but because they were fields I was passionate about.

MARKETING: SHOMA NARAYANAN | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Shilpa Jain
A very senior colleague in my previous organization used to say “Diversity is a property of teams, not individuals”, and I couldn’t agree more – an all-woman team lacks diversity just as much as an all-male one. A successful Marketing team needs to have diversity of thought and experience in addition to gender diversity.

PAROMA ROY CHOWDHURY | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Shilpa Jain
I have always thought of a career as a marathon and not as a sprint. The greatest gift you can gift yourself is that of resilience, the ability to pick yourself up, dust off and move on!

MADHUBANTI MUKHERJEE | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Proteeti Sinha
It took me some time to understand that the most important skill to build is the ability to learn fast and constantly seek out stretch assignments that push you to learn new skills.
SREERUPA SEN | CareerPreviews@ASPIRE by Shilpa Jain
If we think of the technological advances in our world – from the horse-cart to a spaceship, from a tiny pin to a giant crane, from an unpretentious hut to a massive skyscraper, an abacus to a supercomputer – they all stem from STEM if you will forgive the pun.
