Community. Resilience. Transitions. Inclusive Growth. These weren't just topics, but the lived experiences shared at "Her Side of the Story" - an insightful session held recently at Flipkart. It was a privilege to hear from our Flipkart OneTech leaders Priyanka Bhargav (She/ Her), Shweta Chandra, Jayati De, and Saloni Arya as they shared their inspiring journeys on navigating careers and blazing their own trails. Our leaders conversed around some key areas such as: ✨ Mastering the art of delegation, prioritizing self, and committing to continuous learning. ✨ Navigating and managing key life transitions (like maternity breaks) - planning your comeback with your manager & setting clear expectations, in a way that feels sustainable. ✨ Leveraging internal role changes as a pathway to pursue new challenges and roles of choice. ✨ The critical power of finding allies, sponsors, and building a strong community that grows together. At Flipkart, we're not just hosting conversations; we're fostering an ecosystem that is committed to maximizing positively shared experiences for our diverse talent, including our #WomenInTech. #HerSideOfTheStory #Tech #Inspiration #Leadership #Community #InclusionMaximized #WeAreMaximizers Seema Nair | Balaji Thiagarajan | Eric James | Sridhar IC | Akhila Manjunath | Manju Venugopal | Namitha Roy | Poornima S. | Survi Singh | Pavni Kalra | Asit Panda
