Coming from Satara, Maharashtra, Pooja’s journey stands as a strong example of how determination and consistency can shape a meaningful career, regardless of one’s starting point. With a background rooted in a small town and dreams that extended far beyond it, she has built her professional identity through hard work, discipline, and self belief.
Pooja completed her B.Com in Information Technology, building a strong academic foundation, and later pursued an MBA from Pune University to expand her professional vision. Her educational journey was deeply influenced by her mother’s constant motivation and belief in woman empowerment, along with her father’s unwavering support. From an early stage, her mother encouraged her to stand independently, understand her self-worth, and believe that a woman can shape her own future despite circumstances. With this mindset and strong family backing, Pooja not only continued her education but also achieved it through her scholarships, and competition winnings, turning learning into a journey of self-growth and empowerment.
Her professional growth began early. Within the first six months of her career, Pooja received a Growth Stage Award, recognizing her commitment and performance. Two years later, she earned one of the most meaningful recognitions in her journey being acknowledged as a trustworthy and reliable professional within her organization. For her, trust became a defining milestone, reflecting consistency, integrity, and responsibility.
Today, Pooja is working successfully in a top-tier position as a Business Administration and Digital Executive at Pride Group. She is currently based in Dubai, a global hub of opportunities, where she is actively involved in exploring new ideas, business strategies, and digital initiatives. Working from Dubai has enabled her to connect with globally diverse professionals, gain international exposure, and collaborate with people aligned with international standards. This phase marks a powerful transformation bringing her closer to global excellence and making her professional journey more focused and impactful.
Like many growth driven journeys, hers was not without challenges. Pooja openly speaks about facing self-doubt, fear, and early struggles with communication. There were moments when she questioned her own abilities and hesitated to move forward. However, through patience, effort, and continuous self-improvement, she transformed these challenges into strengths an evolution that now defines her confidence and leadership.
At the core of Pooja’s philosophy lies one belief: consistency. She strongly believes that success is not built overnight but earned by showing up every day especially during moments of failure, uncertainty, and slow progress. This principle has guided every stage of her career and continues to shape her mindset.
Adding to her achievements, Pooja has gained international exposure, participating in professional sessions and interacting with people from 12 different countries. She has attended globally respected platforms such as GETEX 2025 Summit and the One Billion Summit, experiences that broadened her perspective and strengthened her ability to communicate and connect on a global level.
Today, Pooja is emerging as an inspiration for students, young professionals, and especially girls from small towns, proving that background does not define destiny mindset, consistency, and support do. Her journey reflects not just professional success, but a meaningful legacy built on family values, woman empowerment, and the courage to grow beyond boundaries.
