In this final episode of the year, we chat with Manjuri Sinha, an industry trailblazer with over 20 years of experience, having held HR leadership roles at Zalando, Accenture, OLX, and set to join Miro next year.
Born and raised in New Delhi, Manjuri reflects on her childhood, shaped by her mother’s influence, teaching her empathy and respect for everyone. These values have guided her leadership style today, focusing on connecting with people on a human level. After collecting core memories in her hometown, she moved to Europe with her husband, living in Sweden, the Czech Republic, and finally Berlin, where she recently celebrated the proud moment of obtaining the German citizenship.
Although her multicultural upbringing made the transition easier, she still faced challenges navigating life in a new country and continent. For instance, she highlights the biases she’s encountered as a woman of color in the workplace, and the importance of addressing these issues head-on.
Looking ahead, she envisions a peaceful life in Spain, where she can focus on projects like helping women with financial health. Her story is a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy, cultural openness, and striving for balance in both personal and professional life.
Now, it’s your turn to press play and unplug. 🎧
