1. To start with, tell us your background.
For many years it has been my ambition to work at an organization where I would not be faced with a glass ceiling as I move up the hierarchyand if I do I would have the strength to break through, and I have been diligently working towards this goal. I did my Undergraduate degree from St. Xavier’s College in Kathmandu, Nepal, thus completing 16 years of education in Nepal. Since my school days I have been active in clubs, societies and not-for-profit organizations, accepting various leadership and organizational roles along the way. I have been fortunate to work in fields as diverse as media and education & training, performing various tasks at differing levels. I have learnt to adjust and get along in a new environment with people from different cultural backgrounds, and look forward to much more learning yet to come. I believe that education is not only about books and knowledge but also about the process obtaining the education and about knowing to balance life, hence I am in India pursuing an MBA and learning in a new environment.
2. What makes you think that you stand out of the crowd?
I will stand out in a crowd as a leader who is willing to take people forward, who can coordinate a team well enough to get best results out of it. I will stand out as an open minded person who welcomes positive change and governs herself with integrity.
3. What do you like the most about yourself?
I enjoy little incidents and things in life, which makes life more enjoyable and I feel happy for these little reasons. This is what I like the most about myself.
4. If you were granted a wish by 'The Jinn', what would it be?
That one wish that I want the Jinn to fulfil is that I would like the people of the world to be more acceptable of one another and that they learn to co-exist better with the eco system.
5. How do you think doing an MBA has added value to your persona?
I decided to continue with an MBA and not go on with a career, or a Masters program in Information Management because I wanted to be an entrepreneur but felt that I lacked the holistic view of the internal operation of an organization as well as the technical know-how of the different functions in it. In an MBA, I have not only started to look at an organization with a bird’s eye, but I have also learnt the skill of people management. MBA has taught me to work in a team, it has instilled in me the way to appreciate diversity.
6. If you were a leader, how will you make a difference?
If I were a leader, I would be an inclusive leader, who is able to make every member from all walks of life feel that they belong here and move forward to achieve one goal with a lot of zeal. For this purpose I would ask representatives of the sub groups to take up leadership position so that a bond can be formed with every person individually with the help of the new leaders so that every single person feels connected and a part of the system.
