Every Year In Consulting Is Like Three

What I Would Not Do Is Flaunt My Indianess By Wearing A Saree To Work Everyday, Because It Distracts From The Job. So, I Would Not Do That. When In Rome, Do As The Romans Do. Social Events Are Different. If I Feel Comfortable In A Saree For A Social Event, I Wear It.

I Asked My Parents For Permission To Study In America And They Were So Sure That I Wouldn't Get In And Get A Scholarship That They Encouraged Me To Try. So I Applied To Yale And Got An Excellent Scholarship. I Then Worked For The Boston Consulting Group For Six And Half Years.

I Wouldn't Ask Anyone To Do Anything I Wouldn't Do Myself.

Whatever Anybody Says Or Does, Assume Positive Intent. You Will Be Amazed At How Your Whole Approach To A Person Or Problem Becomes Very Different.

Lots Are Written About How 'she Shows Up At Board Meetings In The Saree.' My God, I Have Never Worn A Saree To Board Meetings; People Play It Out In Different Ways. I Think I Have Never Shied Away From The Fact That I Am An Indian, And I Don't Intend To, But You Can Be At Home With Both Cultures.
