"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way" Jacintha Jayachandran

Current Role: 

I am currently working with school girls from a government-aided school and teach them Hope. I also am a Coach, People and Culture Practice Advisor and an Entrepreneur.

 

Beginning Of Career: 

I started my career in a Pharmaceutical company and I learned early in life that we have to learn and we have to be unafraid. The IT industry was just about beginning to take wings at that time and I had to learn to work with tech professionals and also learn to work across boundaries and time zones. As a woman this was particularly challenging.

I have always believed, I am responsible for my career. I learned to negotiate both at home and work. I also chose the path I wanted to pursue with confidence and never ever hesitated to learn. I have also always relied on the advice of my mentors. Learning to love challenges has been the best thing I have imbibed.

 

Overcoming Challenges: 

I have always had challenges with health, if i have to think of the biggest challenge. It has always been a challenge and I take both short term and long term efforts to sustain my career for 25 years despite of health issues.

 

A Turning Point In Your Life: 

When I had an accident and fractured my spine, it set me back. But I also decided that I have to claw my way back and truly be a survivor.

 

Your Idol/Mentor: 

Personally my parents and professionally I have many mentors, and I greatly admire Mr. NRN Murthy.

 

Your Advice: 

Fight for your dreams. Work your way forward.
