International Women's Day 2017

Message from our Managing Director, Nitasha Devasar:

This Women’s Day I wanted to share with you 5 things that have stood me in great stead in my professional life:

• Perseverance and Preparedness: A wise mentor once said to me in a time of great professional stress, “Don’t give up and don’t give in.”
• Building emotional stamina through physical activity: I have realized that being healthy and physically strong is part of my job and should be developed the same way as any other work skill.
• A diverse support network: The support of my family and friends, for example, who yank me up when I am floundering and keep me grounded when I fly high, is a strong safety net.
• A sense of the ridiculous: If you can find humor in the very human foibles and quirks of your co-workers and managers, everyday irritants of the workplace vanish.
• Male colleagues: Women’s Day seems an appropriate time to acknowledge these fellow travelers and co-conspirators who have challenged, supported and irritated in line with the need of the hour, over the last 25 years.

I would love to hear from you what your top 5 picks!

Best wishes,

Nitasha

Our colleagues point of view:

1. Anjali Maggon

• Each day is different
• Every lesson is important
• Be your own companion
• Music helps
• Talk it out

2. Puja Kumari

• Take the charge: Never blame anyone for your bad times and make the situation favorable. 
• Inner strength: No matter how much you are broken from outside, your inner strength will help you sail through successfully. 
• Support system: Your near and dear ones will always pull you up when you are all shattered. So, never let them go away from you.
• Parents: Everyone else may turn selfish at some point of time but, only parents think of your happiness selflessly. Never let them down.
• Nothing is permanent: This statement in itself is negative and positive as well, and it helps a lot in adverse conditions. 

There is a saying: “If you are going through HELL, keep going,
cause that is how you will come out of it”.

3. Purnima Agarwal

• Dedication and Hard work: There is no shortcut for dedication and hard work. Maybe you don’t get appreciation for these two things, but it will never go unnoticed. And I truly believe in this. So, just give 100% to all you do.
• Building network: Whether it is personal life or professional life try to build a network whom you can rely upon. This gives you confidence in your low time and you can share your joy in high time.
• Push People Upwards: As per your capacity, support and encourage people to move upwards. Show the confidence in others. Providing them the required support within my capacity, gives me the inner joy.
• Spirituality: Believing in super power, giving some time of your day in remembering the GOD and thanking for everything you have. 
• Taking out time for yourself: Whether you are male or female, it doesn’t matter. You should take out some time for yourself. Invest in you. If you love, respect and appreciate yourself, then people will do too.
