Episode 4 — From Partner Track to Founder: Starting Up 3 Months After Giving Birth

What if becoming a mother didn’t hold back your career — but gave you the skills to lead even better?

In this episode of the Kundra Podcast, Theresa sits down with Ektaa, Founder and Managing Director of the Coworth Group. After years on the Partner track at global firms like Page Executive, Ektaa became pregnant — and everything changed.

Promotion conversations stopped. Visibility faded. Three months after giving birth, she quit her job and launched her own company.

In this conversation, Ektaa shares what really pushed her to leave the corporate world, how motherhood sharpened her leadership instincts, and what she’s doing differently as a founder. From pregnancy bias to resilience after giving birth, this episode is full of insight for anyone navigating ambition and identity after becoming a parent.

If you’re curious about how parenting skills can fuel business success — this episode is for you.



In this episode we cover:

  • 00:00 Introduction to Ektaa's Journey 
  • 01:32 Early Career and Entrepreneurial Spirit 
  • 06:10 Challenges of Pregnancy in Corporate Life 
  • 12:02 Starting a Business Post-Maternity Leave 
  • 17:39 Navigating Bias and Promoting Gender Equality 
  • 22:30 Balancing Motherhood and Entrepreneurship 
  • 32:59 Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs 
  • 34:15 Preparing the Business for a Second Child 
  • 37:04 Conclusion and Final Thoughts


About Kundra

Kundra is currently in active discovery and prototyping — and this podcast is part of that journey.

We’re speaking to founders, HR leaders, and working parents to better understand what support looks like when ambition meets parenting.

The companies that will lead tomorrow are building equity into their foundations today.

If you're shaping that future — or want to help us build the tools that support it — we’d love to hear from you.
