The One Who Keeps Going
To work hard and never give up is one of the greatest lessons imparted on Rupali by her parents. It carries through in everything she does to this day. There is the time when she earned her bachelor’s while working full time and now, raising her kids as a full-time working mom. This mindset of lifelong learning is perhaps one of the reasons she’s honed her project management skills while getting smart on a rich cross-section of sectors over her career, from executive search and insurance to industrial and consumer. We’d also add that she’s an incredible listener.
