Could you tell us briefly about your family background?
My Husband is into a Private Equity Firm working as Senior leasing manager, have parents, both retired. From my maternal side I have my Mom who is business woman turned socialite. I have two sisters, one settled in USA with her husband, both working, and younger one is interesting in social service, currently doing research for setting up her own NGO.
Role Model:
I am inspired by Amitabh Bacchan for his passion that took him to new heights, in spite of the problems he faced in his career. He is still so active in spite of his age and best in what he is doing. He has a great personality which impresses all.
Working Life Management:
I work from home and I work all the time I can take out from my family. At times its like working in bits and pieces but I set targets for myself everyday and do not sleep till I achieve them. I have realized that I am brilliant at multitasking as my baby play on my lap while work on articles and I could still make my customers happy with my services.
Career Profile:
Started as marketing manager, I went into sales profile and then prepped up to become an entrepreneur and since then, I have been self-employed. Earlier I did marketing research and now turned my passion of writing into a full fledged career as a content writer. I do what every entrepreneur does, just with a change of love for what I do.
Plans For The Future:
I see myself launching a book, I have planned to write recently and see myself having a huge presence in content writing arena. I am a person who likes to train and motivate people. Thus, I also see myself standing before a crowd of at least a few hundred, ready to get trained from me!
Other Thoughts:
I am a very passionate person who strongly believes in dreams, the path may not be the easy one but everything that can be thought of, is achievable. I believe hard work has no substitute and keep working for my goals always. I am in writing but also carry other interests like photography and Music
Degrees That Matter:

Advice For New Professionals:
Have a clear goal in mind, plan things out for future, believe in your abilities, have confidence to face all odds once you decide to take a path which you feel is the one for you. Listen to others but do what your heart says, it may be hard but when you are clear about yourself, no one can stop you
The Journey So Far:
Corporate throws challenges as well as puts you to test, makes you learn at every step, every mistake and every accomplishment. I have learned quite a lot from my corporate journey, at times I faced tough situations but the way I solved them with the help of my fellow corporate, I have build confidence and good professional relationships. Once who were just my colleagues,are now my friends, partners or customers. I do not believe in leaving people with the company but love to keep the relationship forever
Changes In The Professional Environment:
Everything I ever did as a career woman has taught me more at every step and the journey also made me discover my true professional dream. An Engineer turned into MBA and then experimented with businesses, at last landed as a writer. Change as we all know is the only thing constant in our lives and same has been the case with me. As I changed, my life changed, every one around me changed and as I explored myself and presented my true self before them, people around me started to appreciate my work as a professional writer. Today, I am more confident of my capabilities than ever.
Prized Accomplishment(s):
More than anything else like my seniors encouraging me, customers appreciating me, friends enjoying with me, strangers liking me, I feel the biggest achievement is Knowing myself, knowing what I wanted to do in life. The clarity of thoughts and the plans that I could spread for my future have given me confidence that I will soon get my dream.
Growth Strategy:
A leader is not defined by himself or herself but his or her followers. When I meet people , I realize they like me both personally and professionally. I try to maintain my personality and at the same time learn better things from others. Every day I enhance my knowledge of the world and the work to always keep growing as I believe - Education never stops!

My role as a self-employed person starts with promoting myself, working on projects and learning new skills for better services. I strive for improvement everyday with my aim to generate at least one new idea or article everyday and unless I finish this task, my doesn't get over!
