In this interview, Bhavana Hindupur enlightened me with some different perspectives about the challenges going through tech. She explained how cultural background and expectations from society can create additional barriers when navigating how to progress in the workplace.
One of the great points that Bhavana brought up was about her turning point in her career going from senior to principal level -- You need to be the one driving the change!
Thanks for the awesome chat, Bhavana!
