I had just completed my Master’s degree from IIT when I got an opportunity to work with Ford. I was selected to join the Accelerated Leadership Development programme, an 18-month training that nurtured my leadership capabilities. Still early in my career, I am the lead for the product development team of the Mobility Solutions Platform being developed for roll out in India. The joy of developing solutions, addressing real world problems, exposure of global teams and a friendly peer culture, have been the driving force in my career. I really love the work environment here – it is an open and collaborative atmosphere where the senior leaders work closely with the team.
