About

In our inaugural episode, Ipsita Kathuria, Founder & CEO TalentNomics is having a heartfelt conversation with her colleague and friend of 25 years Binoo Wadhwa about her experience of gender disparity at work, what led her to start TalentNomics and the roadmap ahead.

Ipsita passionately shares her career journey in a male-dominated world, offering a raw and insightful perspective on the challenges she faced and the strategies she used to thrive.
