One’s ability to adapt to changes is the springboard for one’s rise. Coming from a family of farmers, adjusting to diverse situations was a way of life for me since childhood. This trait has enabled me excel across functions –Industrial Engineering, Quality, or Logistics & Process Engineering. When I joined the Auto sector, I was the only woman on the shop floor. But, collaborating with others came naturally to me and I was able to succeed while coordinating with over 500 shopfloor associates. In my role as an industrial engineer, I was able to achieve many firsts for Mahindra, such as 90% utilisation of associate productivity and first-time right launch for Marazzo. I am grateful to be recognized for the new benchmarks set by my team and I. I believe that being transparent and accurate has played a major role in my journey as it helped me establish a clear two-way communication with the associates and adapt to the needs of the situation. The diverse experiences I’ve had, the critical product & process knowledge I’ve gained, and the people I’ve connected with have created great value for me personally and professionally. I hope to continue adding value to my organization in the same way.
