Her Interview
Ten minutes with Harsha
01What do you attribute your success to?
I owe my journey so far to my family, mentors, leads that have led the team, and colleagues, and everyone who believed in me along the way. Moving from India to the United States and building my career has been a journey of learning, adapting, and stepping outside my comfort zone. My family has always been my biggest source of encouragement, while my colleagues and mentors have taught me the importance of staying curious, working hard, and continuing to grow.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Focus on building skills and creating value, rather than worrying too much about titles or comparing my journey with someone else. Relationships matter just as much as expertise. Being curious, staying open to feedback, and accepting feedback with an open mind, and building genuine connections with people you work with can open doors you may not have expected.
