+ 6 learnings from Shivpuri to Silicon Valley
++ I’m excited to kick off this series of newsletters where I’ll be sharing my experiences, learnings, + and best practices which helped me to grow both in my personal and professional life. My hope is to + give back to the community and help anyone connect directly with me who may have got impacted with + recent layoffs, dealing with immigration challenges. +

++ Over the past few months, as the macro-economic events have unfolded, I have heard voices filled + with anxiety, helplessness and general lack of confidence to deal with this ambiguity from my + mentees, colleagues, friends and family. I was laid off from Meta last November and I firmly + believe this is nothing but a bump in the road that might seem like a steep climb in the + short-term. I may not have all the answers but this has inspired me to share my story. If you + are looking for a sob story, you can stop reading now. Ever wondered what it takes for a girl + born into a conservative family in a small sleepy town in India, who lost one of her parents at + age 17, earned her living while pursuing engineering, moved to the UK by herself and ended up + working in big tech in Silicon valley? My goal with this series of posts is to inspire and share + my mental models that helped me throughout my professional and personal life. +
++ After completing my engineering, I started my career at a small software company in Bhopal and + then worked for TCS(Tata Consultancy Services), one of the largest IT-outsourcing companies in + the world for almost 5 years. Over the past 14 years, I have worked for big tech companies like + Meta (Facebook) and Google, wore multiple hats, led strategic programs, scaled multi + billion-dollar businesses, built teams and helped achieve business operational excellence. + Throughout my career, I’ve dealt with several challenges from execution to scale to building a + high performance team. A lot of my early struggles were about how to assimilate in a new + culture, create a network in a new environment, earn trust, create and nurture work + relationships into fruitful friendships and so on. +
++ I was born in a conservative family in a small town called ‘Shivpuri’, also known as ‘Mini + Kashmir’ because of its natural beauty. My father was a civil engineer working on Madikheda Dam + on Sindh river and was a strict disciplinarian. He was gone from dawn to dusk and was always + focused. My mother was a teacher in a school that was about 30 kms from our home. We (me and my + sister) would often be left with neighbors to be taken care of and this led us to become + independent at an early age. Our otherwise slow paced, simple life with only a few families + around in the government quarters that were set up to support construction of the dam was filled + with natural beauty, wildlife and a community of close friends. Our lives were balanced and + while my parents worked hard to provide basic needs, we were satisfied. There were only a few + schools with Hindi being the prevalent language as the medium of teaching. There were no + colleges for advanced studies and most girls did not go to college often married off by their + 18th birthday. Generally speaking, we had a joyous childhood with just the basics. While most + folks we interacted with were not highly educated nor ambitious, earned lower middle class + salaries and lacked exposure to the outside world but there was plenty to learn from them. + People had learnt to stick together in good and bad times. They embodied the old school + qualities of hard work, dedication and commitment. Be willing to give it all- hard work, + dedication and commitment. +
++ In 2003, my father passed away suddenly and we found ourselves in crisis. My mother was a + teacher and she did not have time to deal with her grief. Rather, she was struggling to garner + support to get transferred to a school in Bhopal, capital of Madhya Pradesh to be closer to our + maternal grandparents. As we uprooted ourselves from Shivpuri to Bhopal, one of my father’s + loyal friends came to help load the moving truck. While he had nothing to gain out of us, he + continued to serve us until the last day in Shivpuri. Remember, in crisis your team matters more + than any other time. Advocate for them ruthlessly in good and bad times, they will come through + in crisis. +
++ Eventually we found our footing, my mother’s job was transferred to a local school in Bhopal and + I got admission in a government engineering college. My sister was still attending high school + and both of us were teaching tuition classes to middle school students in the evenings to make + ends meet. I also started a tiffin service for a few out of town students while attending + college to pay for my transportation and cost of supplies. We refused to give up. Persevere when + all else fails. +
++ Our 5 years went by quickly in Bhopal as we worked towards improving our financial situation and + I completed my Bachelors in Computer Science. This was the time I first stepped out to live in a + metropolitan city, Mumbai for my job at TCS. This was a paradigm shift from Bhopal and I was + blown away to meet so many talented folks in Mumbai. In my head, I did not belong in this place. + I had imposter syndrome and felt like an outsider trying to make it in a new city. Most people I + met were fluent in more than 1 language, well-dressed, communicated openly and with confidence, + and presented themselves well. I was always in a dilemma when it came to adopting values. It + took me a while to adjust to it but I was still not confident about my work and communication + while my hard skills that I learnt in engineering were top notch. I kept questioning my + abilities but persisted. This was not the first time I was out of my comfort zone. Persist, when + in discomfort. +
++ I worked with multiple global companies who were clients of TCS and was presented an opportunity + to move to Scotland, UK for an year to work for GE, who was also a client. This was my first + opportunity to explore a different culture, food, music, languages etc. I remember working on my + english when in Mumbai, in preparation for my UK trip. It was really difficult to understand the + accent in the UK, even though language was not a barrier. I still remember certain words would + just not get across no matter how hard some of my colleagues tried and they would end up using + signs to convey. Be prepared, opportunities come to those who are prepared. +
++ In 2013, I came to the US on a dependent visa after marriage and quickly realized the curse of + H4 visa. I paved my path by going back to school at UC Berkeley and then jumped back into + building my career from scratch. While working in the US over the past years, I realized college + degrees with good grades and certifications definitely help you to get your foot in the door but + are not enough to be successful in your career. As I was again starting from scratch in a new + culture, determined to do whatever it takes, having done this a few times before, it doesn’t + scare me as much. Never be afraid to start from zero again! +
