In my kind of profession people want to “shadow” you for 10 days or max work with you for a year to figure out what you are all about, highlight that on their profiles and CV and go about their lives.

A short thread on Jinal and Somya ...

In a world where that is default, to find someone you vibe with, grow with and learn with, is a rarity, if not an absolute miracle.

When Jinal and Somya walked into my office, they came in wearing similar clothes; white shirt and blue jeans.

Straight out of SNDT, they had been friends for over a decade and were willing to take the job only if we would work with both. We agreed and it’s been 10 years since.

I have watched them grow into professionals, do TV interviews, present at international conferences, wear the mantle of TEDx speakers and consult with clients with elan. And with them I have grown and around them my team has grown.

Together we keep our work free of any conflict of interest, client-centered and committed to the cause of sustainable health, well-being and living.
Our families are now an extension of our work and not just do they not mind, they thrive with us.

Girls backing girls, supporting each other, uplifting each other is a daily phenomenon but the narrative is always about men. Breaking that stereotype will enable girls at crossroads to make the right choices, because truly, you can have it all. A career, family, fame and money.

You just need to choose the right company. I am glad that I chose yours and you chose mine. To many more decades Jinal and Somya. May you grow, thrive and stay on course with your learning.
