I began my career in media, spending over a decade building stories and brands.But despite professional success, I felt called toward something deeper.

So I took a leap of faith. I left the corporate world and joined Teach For India, spending two transformative years working with children from underserved communities.

Then came motherhood. I took a five-year sabbatical to raise my child and became a full-time caregiver—not only to my child, but also to my elderly mother-in-law.

Those years taught me something no classroom, corporate job, or leadership program ever could: Women carry extraordinary emotional responsibility.

Yet very few are taught how to care for themselves while caring for everyone else. That realization changed everything.

Today, through Manbira – The Inner Leadership Academy, I help women build emotional strength, reclaim their identity, create healthy boundaries, rediscover happiness, and thrive in every season of life.

Because I believe a woman should never have to lose herself in order to love others.
