Within two years, I easily surpassed the numbers he said I couldn't reach."Imagine growing up as a carpenter's daughter where you were not taught to dream big, and your ultimate career goal was simply to become a secretary so you could work in an air-conditioned room.In Episode 13 of THE SHE.E.O EFFECT, Vijayashree Parameswaran sits down with Gomathi "Goms" Sridhar, the CEO of AhaGuru.

She holds nothing back, discussing the dark side of leadership that most founders hide:🔥 Mother's Guilt: The crushing societal pressure that makes you feel like you have to be a "bad mother" to be a "good leader."🔥 The Boys' Club: Why she refuses to compromise her comfort and safety just to fit in at male-dominated networking events.🔥 Underestimation: How she uses the sexism and judgment of male peers—who ignore her in meetings because she lacks "fancy degrees"—as fuel to build her empire.If you have ever felt underestimated or struggled with the myth of "work-life balance," this episode is your ultimate permission slip to tune out the noise and focus on your goals."The outfit doesn't matter, the attitude does."#thesheeoeffect #ahaguru #femalefounders #womeninleadership #womeninbusiness #edtech #workingmom #entrepreneurship #grit #leadership

    "Women from good families don't put themselves in these situations."In Episode 12 of THE SHE.E.O EFFECT, Vijayashree Parameswaran sits down with Divya Yachamaneni, the CEO of Naandi Community Water Services. Coming from a highly sheltered, urban background, Divya made a radical choice: she wanted to explore the real "Bharat."Driven by an intense combination of curiosity and conviction, Divya refused to let her gender be an excuse or a burden. She traveled through pitch-black nights in Punjab and navigated rural villages where sarpanches carried AK-47s, desperate to earn her place in the social sector.But looking back, she shares a profound realization. While she doesn't want to romanticize the danger, she refuses to carry the shame of taking those risks. As she powerfully states: "A woman doing her work in difficult terrains is not her problem. The fact that the terrain is unsafe for her... is society's problem at large."Prepare for an incredible masterclass in confronting fear, defining your own boundaries, and bridging the gap between corporate "India" and rural "Bharat."🎙️ Subscribe to THE SHE.E.O EFFECT for more leadership insights!
