Challenge status quo
Anuroopa Pereira, Director – Marketing Communications, Sabre India
“If women want to be considered for senior roles, they need to move forward and do things that they would probably shy away from, such as networking, public speaking, providing a perspective on certain subject matters, authoring articles, speaking up etc. One thought I’d like aspiring women to take away is that fear is the only limiting move that one can make professionally, that’s why, a certain amount of courage is required to challenge the status quo, speak truth to power, question the relevance of doing things in a certain way and nudge positive change.”
