Empowering Diversity our Communities
From the moment I began working with people from different backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences, I realised that my greatest strength lay not in titles or roles, but in connection. Whether in classrooms, workshops, or workplaces, I have always been drawn to understanding people — what holds them back, what inspires them, and what helps them move forward.
My Story
My journey began in education, where I worked as a lecturer in tertiary institutions, teaching and inspiring mature students who were returning to learning with courage, doubt, and determination. Supporting them through moments of uncertainty and growth showed me the power of belief — and how transformational it can be when someone is truly seen and encouraged.
Alongside this, I deepened my work in mindfulness, breathwork, and emotional agility, facilitating workshops that help people slow down, reconnect with themselves, and break through limiting beliefs. Time and again, I have witnessed individuals rediscover confidence, joy, and clarity — and make meaningful changes in their lives, careers, and relationships.
Originally from India, I moved to New Zealand as an international student, arriving with no established network, limited financial support, and no family around me. Building a life from scratch was challenging, but it shaped my resilience, empathy, and deep understanding of what it means to adapt, persevere, and create opportunity where none seems obvious. Having lived that experience, I know what it takes to beat the odds — and I carry that insight into everything I do.
Alongside my people-centred work, I have spent over 20 years in the technology sector, working across government, financial services, telecommunications, and enterprise organisations. Today, I consult with an international insurance organisation, designing and implementing AI-driven solutions that enable smarter, more human-centred business outcomes. While technology has been a constant in my career, it has always been the people behind the systems that have mattered most to me.
Over the years, I have spoken at numerous events, sharing my journey and encouraging individuals to shift their mindset, take ownership of their lives, and step into their full potential. These experiences led me to found Tech Beyond Gender — a platform born from lived experience, research, and a deep commitment to creating more inclusive, equitable, and humane workplaces.
Through Tech Beyond Gender, I bring together storytelling, research, workshops, and community conversations to amplify diverse voices and inspire meaningful change. My work is driven by one belief: when people feel empowered, supported, and valued, they don’t just succeed — they transform the spaces around them.
And I know this is only the beginning.
