We all have values. We all stand for and against certain causes. Be it people, initiatives, practices, philosophies, products - we connect to some so strongly, feel so passionately that we believe in them, stand by them, support them. Big or small, it doesn't matter. We all have values. The one value I stand for, both personally and professionally, is gender equality. Irrespective of industry, background or location, women face discrimination. And that is the harsh reality. I myself have

We all love experiences, don’t we? When we walk into a restaurant we look forward to delicious food but also, good ambience, music & lighting.
