👩💻 "The year 2019 marked a start to an exciting chapter in my 11 year old IT Career! As soon as I joined Telstra India, I could instantly identify Telstra as a technology and innovation driven organisation. 🤝 I was fortunate enough to have a manager who believed in me and bestowed on me, a very challenging role of working in a whole new project critical for the program. I made the maximum use of the opportunity and embraced my work as a positive addiction and went on to lead an end to end team which was newly formed to release new products on digital stack with lesser time to market. 💕 After working for close to 2 years in Telstra India, I can proudly say that the Telstra family has definitely added considerable value to my career by nurturing my skills and providing me with training and opportunities to expand my learning horizon."
