Being named one of India's Top 50 Women Leaders takes me back to a very specific moment long long back:   I had a toddler. My team was sitting outside her bedroom in our house, working. I was constantly shushing Sayesha:"Please don't make noise, bhaiya is working from the other room."  She's a toddler. Of course she screamed. That was my introduction to leadership—balancing motherhood, a startup, aging parents, and a team crammed into my home. Living in fight-or-flight mode most of the time.    I wasn't polished. I didn't have all the answers. I had one piece of paper where I'd drawn our first financial accounts by hand. And I had one rule: we would never be in a situation where we couldn't pay salaries. Three months of cash in the bank, always.  That's the kind of leader I became—not the visionary in the sky, but the person who makes sure everyone lands safely.  When Tarun Dua would fly high with big ideas, I'd bring the spreadsheet. When the team wanted to spend more, I'd show them the runway. When investors asked why we hadn't grown faster, I'd say: "Because we chose to survive."  This recognition is shared with every person who's led from the back office, the bedroom, the unglamorous places where real work gets done. To my team, my co-founders, my family, and every woman who's had to shush a toddler while building a company.  Leadership isn't always loud. Sometimes it's just making sure that all parts tie together to build something bigger. Link to my book  https://amzn.in/d/6Jv7cdH

This is such a powerful reflection on leadership. The ability to balance such immense responsibilities with grace, especially from those early, unpolished days, is truly inspiring. Your focus on ensuring survival and safe landings speaks volumes about your integrity as a leader.
