Today, I am working with pharma and medical device firms on diverse and interesting projects where I get to use my research background and apply it to the real-world projects.

My journey was not easy. I had a strong academic background in healthcare from world-renowned universities, yet found it difficult to pivot to a corporate role inline with my aspirations.

I was determined to make the transition and so alongside actively looking for jobs, I made it a point to attend conferences and workshops. to expand my network and improve my soft skills. I chanced upon Career Re-start workshop hosted by Pinkstripes. I attended the conference and during the sessions I realized that most speakers and attendees gave good pointers on improving skills, branding and resume building. I networked with several people at the event-industry leaders and SME owners. Pinkstripes showed empathy in understanding my journey and helped me get an internship which provided the right mentoring for the transition in to consulting.

Through this workshop, I got connected to a consulting company which helped me pivot to corporate career. I finally got the right mentoring and opportunity. I interned with for good 6 months where I was mentored in to be successful in my role.
