As a generation who belongs to the cusp of pre-liberalization and post-liberalized economy of India, working in a multi-national company was always a fascinating concept for me.
Switching over to join the Technology bandwagon in its early days in Bangalore was one of the better decisions I took in my life.
This gave me the opportunity to marry many different things I cared about:
Design wasn't a very conventional (or lucrative) career path in India when I was making my choices. Little did I know then, that it would be a topic of ever growing importance in the world of business. Today, Technology is a big part of every growing business.
Another decision I am glad I took was, to join SAP 10 years back.
A lot of people and things I have in my life today is thanks to this amazing company. It has supported me with the ups and downs in my life in the last decade.
I am so grateful for it all.
When I aspired to work in a multi-national company, I didn't know what exactly it meant.
Perhaps its the sense of 'borderless-ness' that fascinated me the most.
Now being part of it for 10 years, experiencing it first hand, everyday, I love it.
Despite its inherent complexities.
I recall my days in the Bangalore office when I dialed into conference calls to have meetings with colleagues from 7 different time zones and 4 different countries.
I love having friends from different countries, cultures...
In an environment like this where there are so many differences I believe it becomes pointless to focus on the differences. It becomes easier to look at how similar we humans are at the base of it all.
Thanks for giving me new perspectives and making me feel like a 'global citizen' :)

- Applying my passion for design to create new things
- Being part of something 'new/innovative'
- Yearning to travel
- Be paid enough to support my travels ;)
