Let your light shine

The most effective messages are best delivered simply. SHEROES.in founder Sairee Chahal’s live radio chat with popular Radio Jockey Chris’s show Good Morning, Delhi on the leading radio station 94.3 Radio One Delhi, reached out to professionals, especially women, asking them to take charge and seek support when needed.

"I want to say, especially to people who are undergoing transition, we all need help. Don't let yourself be walled. Let your light shine," said Sairee, urging women, especially to professionals returning to work after a sabbatical and long-drawn unemployment. Encouraging words were spoken for all, including stay-at-home moms, writers and corporate professionals.

Stay connected. Take charge. The journey begins with the first step forward. No town is too small; no potential is too less. These points were illustrated well by Sairee using her personal experience, "I grew up in small town India, and began to see and realise that it had far more potential in the country than we'd think.”

Women need help at all career stages. However, career conversations need to start when a woman is young. Right from when she starts to prepare for her college entrances. “I firmly believe that younger women need to take charge of their careers before they start to build them,” said Sairee. 

Many such conversations are initiated and supported at SHEROES.in . "With ten thousand companies putting out jobs for women with senior, mid level and junior-level roles, get your career wagon rolling,” she added. Magic careers for women are a reality.

When Sairee was asked about how SHEROES.in was run and what verticals it offers, she said, “We build a story for women to find their fit and not break career momentum. It's our job to enrich their life story, bringing women back to where their passion lies.”

“SHEROES verticals range from work-from-home jobs, franchising opportunities, partnership plans, massive mentor coaching exercises, community meets and a dedicated career helpline. We are everything a woman needs to make it big in the career space."

Sairee also spoke about helping corporates and opportunity providers looking to hire more women into their workforce. "While we know that it's hard for a company to do away with its industrial thinking, we'll tell you what it takes to create business value out of newer models of hiring,” she explained.

Here is where SHEROES.in steps in to support the opportunity providers and corporates:

1. We help companies manage recruitment programs, and manage it for them.

2. We build, and reach out to people to create, diversity at work.

3. We work around cost and talent pressures, to build the most value addition, out of a pool of opportunities.

Most important of all, we are all about our community. SHEROES.in is a community of urban professional women. Taking charge. Staying connected with your passion.

To sum it up, like Sairee says, we’d also urge you. Ask. When it’s needed. When it isn’t needed. Ask for advice, ask for help. Because until you ask, the answer, is always a no.
