Real and inspiring stories of Sri Vidya and Ruchi — two extraordinary women who rebooted their careers with MARS Certification. Their career comebacks prove that with the right support, women can reach their goals and make their dreams come true.

Sri Vidya: Resilience in the Face of Challenges

Sri Vidya's journey with MARS is marked by resilience and determination, spurred by a significant challenge in her professional life. After starting her career journey with GE in 2001 and contributing to the tech landscape at Tech Mahindra ITes BPO, Sri Vidya embraced motherhood in 2009.

However, faced with a harsh reality when her then-employer denied an extension of her maternity leave, allowing only a mere 3 months for postpartum recovery, Sri Vidya took a bold decision. Choosing to prioritize her well-being and the needs of her newborn, she decided to leave her job.

Seven years later, in 2018, Sri Vidya found her way to MARS, restarting her career with Paytm. Despite lucrative offers elsewhere, Sri Vidya remained loyal to MARS, appreciating the supportive work culture and approachable team. Her tale is not just about her career comeback; it reveals women's difficulties in the workplace, particularly when it comes to maternity leave and motherhood.

Sharing her thoughts, she emphasizes, "MARS not only welcomed me back after a hiatus but also allowed me to contribute meaningfully. It's not just a workplace; it's a supportive community that values my journey." Sri Vidya's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of workplaces prioritising their employees' well-being, especially during significant life events. 

Ruchi Mishra: Climbing the Ladder with Determination

Ruchi Mishra, a B.Tech graduate from Bhopal, embarked on her remote career with SHEROES in 2018. After a career break due to health reasons, Ruchi swiftly climbed the ladder from an executive role to supervising a team of six as a Quality Analyst. Her journey shows that remote employment opportunities can facilitate career advancement and financial independence. Ruchi's story encourages women to #TakeCharge, showing them that with determination, setbacks can be the stepping stones to success.

Ruchi shares, "Working with Paytm from Bhopal seemed like a distant dream, but MARS made it a reality. Remote work has shattered limitations for women like me, proving that talent knows no boundaries."
