She emphasized that despite the challenges she had faced along the way, conquering hardship had fueled her ambition to succeed.
“My inspiration comes from the challenges I face. I am strengthened by knowing the number of people who want to see me fail. That’s where I build my courage. I have been bullied, I have been sabotaged, by both men and women who were my colleagues just because of my capabilities.
“I observed that many people in our industry have less tolerance towards their fellow hardworking colleagues irrespective of working for the same company sometimes. But I am a fighter.
