You’re a high-performing woman doing everything right. You consistently deliver the results, survive the fire drills and have proven your value ten times over. Yet, when the Dir/VP roles open... you hear

"Be more strategic" "Have more executive presence" or "Wait your turn"

while less qualified people move ahead.💔

This isn't about your work ethic or working harder. It’s about power, perception, and strategic influence. As a former C-Suite executive, I know how these decisions are made because I've sat in the talent reviews and promotion discussions.

I started my career right at the bottom in a junior Tech Support role and fought through dysfunctional reorgs and M&As to become a Company President and C-Suite Executive. 

As a working mom and often the youngest executive in the room, I was told every reason why I wasn’t “fit” for the top. I didn’t just shatter the ceiling…I mastered the behavioral psychology required to own the room.

I’ve helped 5,000+ women get promoted at Dir/VP and C-Suite levels and, for many, build founder paths alongside or beyond corporate securing $5.5M in combined raises. and secure $5.5M in combined raises in months, not years.

Stop being the doer that does all the work and start being the leader who leads it. Every cycle you wait is a $40k-$125K mistake.

Send me a DM. Get your seat at the table.✌️

Every investor who rejected these 6 women is somewhere regretting it. 🌶️ 
The venture capital world loves to talk about "potential," but only 2.3% of funding goes to women.

These 6 women didn't wait for a term sheet or a seat at someone else's table. They built their own, and more importantly, they kept every chair.

1: Sara Blakely - Turned $5,000 into Spanx, built a $1.2 billion company, and self-funded it for 21 years. When Blackstone bought it in 2021, she still owned 100%.
Lesson: The money you have is enough to start. The money you make is enough to grow.

2: Mahisha Dellinger: A bank told her no, so she bootstrapped CURLS with $25,000 anyway, a hair care brand for natural curls that industry ignored. Today, it's a $15 million brand sitting in Walmart, Target, and CVS Health.
Lesson: A bank's "no" isn't a verdict. It's a detour to full ownership.

3: Cate Luzio: Self-funded Luminary when everyone told her to raise. Now: 30 countries, 100+ corporate partners, and zero outside capital.
Lesson: People warning you about risk often haven't taken any themselves.

4: Natalia Shahmetova: When VCs wouldn't touch pet tech, she went ahead anyway. Woofz now has 21 million downloads and $20M in annual revenue, built entirely on her own terms.
Lesson: Build where no one's looking. By the time they notice, you're already ahead.

5: Jaclyn Johnson: Bootstrapped Create & Cultivate, sold it for $22 million, then bought it back. All by 35.
Lesson: An exit doesn't have to be the end. If you built it right, you can take it back.

6: ✨Vivian Kaye: She built what the beauty industry wouldn't...products for Black women with curly hair, starting with herself. A college dropout and single mother, she bootstrapped KinkyCurlyYaki to 7 figures.
Lesson: The best products come from founders who needed them first.

We’ve been trained to think that "making it" means someone else validated us with a check.

These 6 women didn’t wait for the world to change.
They built empires anyway.

Something epic happened last month, 𝗜 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲! And, it made the start of this 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹. 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, I wasn’t just doing a guest session at IIM Lucknow… I floated and taught my 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 !!!! 🔥 
And honestly, the response was beyond what I imagined.

The classroom energy became so strong that a few students actually chose to sit through sessions even though 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱, purely because the word-of-mouth around what we were building inside the course started spreading.

We weren’t doing “AI gyaan.” We weren’t chasing “AI trends.” We were building real, 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 - a proper marketing workflow engine that can create brand-consistent output at scale.

Because 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽… you know something is working! 

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗲𝗿𝗮. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 “𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀”... 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀.

Sharing some images that they produced in the class, for their favourite brands.

Thank you prof Devashish Das Gupta and Dr. Priyanka Sharma for your confidence in me and the entire class that showed up despite cold and placement pressures, Sunavo Ghosh, Satia ., Shravya Y., Bindiya Vasudeva, Hrithik Joy Tanwani, Oishee Mazumder, Divya Kashmiri, Kartik Sailor, and so many more who've energised each and every discussion in the class. 

Huge heartfelt thanks to my gurus beyond campus, Ayan Ghosh, Abhishek Ratna, Srinandan Sundaram, Swati Ganeti, Revathi Raghunath, Tarun Malik, Ankit Goswami, Alex Lieberman, Abhishek Patil, Supreet Kaur, Marily Nika, Ph.D, Amit Kumar Singh, Novleen Bali, Prof Das Narayandas, Prof Stefan Thomke, Prof Joshua Margolis, Prof Sunil Gupta, Prof Krishna G.

What a brilliant podcast!! The Brilliant Sarah Friar and the amazing Vinod Khosla in the hot seat!

A summary below:

The Transition to Agentic Systems (2025–2026)
The industry is moving beyond simple "call and response" interactions toward sophisticated, multi-agent systems.

• From Vibe Coding to Maturity: While 2025 was characterized by "vibe coding" (intuitive, less structured development), 2026 is projected to be the year agents achieve visible, real-world impact.
• Enterprise Applications: Multi-agent systems are expected to manage entire business functions, such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, handling daily reconciliations, accruals, and contract tracking autonomously.

• Consumer Utility: AI is evolving from a search tool to a "task worker." Examples include planning complex travel itineraries—cross-referencing food preferences, reservations, flight schedules, and personal calendars—and providing specialized assistance in health and nutrition.
The "Capability Gap" and the Electricity Analogy
A significant disparity exists between the intelligence currently available and the degree to which users utilize it.

• Underutilization: Current estimates suggest that only a single-digit percentage of users are utilizing even 30% of existing AI capabilities. Friar compares this to being handed the "keys to a Ferrari" while only learning to drive.
• Infrastructure Paradigm: AI is likened to electricity. Just as early users of electricity initially only turned on lights before realizing they could heat homes or cook, current AI users are primarily asking questions rather than delegating tasks.

• Adoption vs. Capability: Experts warn against confusing adoption curves with capability curves. While OpenAI sees over 800 million weekly active users, the depth of engagement is still in its infancy.
Sector-Specific Analysis: Healthcare
Healthcare is identified as a primary area where AI will "commoditize expertise," though significant barriers remain.

• Usage Statistics:
    ◦ 230 million people ask ChatGPT health questions weekly.

    ◦ 66% of U.S. physicians report using ChatGPT in their daily work.
• Augmentation, Not Replacement: AI acts as a "great augmentation" for doctors, providing access to encyclopedic knowledge and the latest research. It assists in triaging rare diseases (e.g., identifying malaria in non-endemic regions) and identifying drug interactions.

• Regulatory Hurdles: The primary constraint is not technology but regulation. Currently, no AI is approved as a medical device by the FDA, and organizations like the American Medical Association control functions such as writing prescriptions.
