From the US to MARS: How Prachi Found Her Power Through Remote Work

Discover how Prachi Choubey built a fulfilling remote career with MARS by SHEROES while raising a family and supporting her daughter's sports dreams. A must-read for women seeking flexible remote jobs and work-from-home inspiration.

"Every month, when I receive my salary, it gives me not just financial freedom, but a deep sense of pride and independence."
- Prachi Choubey

When Prachi Choubey left her job at Amazon and moved from Pune to Indore with her family, she wasn't just changing cities; she was on the way to finding her dream career. What followed was a journey of rediscovery and a powerful return to professional life through remote work.

Today, Prachi is not just a successful remote professional at MARSbySHEROES, but also a mother, a marathon runner, a national-level badminton player, and a full-time cheerleader for women striving to strike that elusive work-life balance.

A Career That Crossed Continents

Prachi's career began in banking with ICICI Bank, where she served as a Senior Manager before marriage took her to the US. Due to the lack of a work permit, she couldn't work, but she never stopped learning. Once she obtained her work permit, Prachi began taking on odd jobs, IT recruitment roles, and certifications that eventually led to a role as a QA analyst with a major US firm.

Later, when she returned to India, she joined Amazon. The hybrid role offered flexibility but didn't fully align with her evolving priorities, especially as her children entered crucial school years. When her family relocated to Indore, Prachi made a difficult choice to step away from Amazon. That's when she discovered MARSbySHEROES.

"I was looking for a job for nearly a year. Then I applied for a SHEROES opportunity and became a MARS Partner. That changed everything."

Building a Life Around Balance

For the last seven years, Prachi has worked remotely as a MARS Partner. The flexibility has allowed her to be deeply involved in her children's lives; her son is an international swimmer and her daughter is an national level tennis player, and to nurture her own passions for fitness and sports.

"If I don't do my morning workout, I don't feel ready to take care of everyone else. My fitness routine energizes my entire day."

Her day starts early, often before sunrise. After prepping her daughter for school, Prachi devotes time to her workout, running, training, and keeping herself healthy. She believes women often put themselves last, and she's determined to break that cycle - not just for herself, but for the women around her.

The Power of Self-Reliance

Prachi often reflects on how women shoulder multiple roles - daughter, wife, mother, daughter-in-law and yet frequently put their own aspirations on hold.

For her, working is not just about the paycheck. It's about identity, confidence, and joy. Being a remote professional has made her feel alive, respected, and financially secure; all without sacrificing time with her family.

In fact, Prachi often travels with her daughter to different cities for tennis tournaments, seamlessly balancing her role as a supportive parent and a dedicated professional. She books hotels or accommodations with stable internet, carries her laptop, and sets up a mini office wherever she is.

"Thanks to remote work, I never have to choose between being there for my daughter and doing my job well. I've worked from hotel rooms, tournament venues, anywhere with a Wi-Fi connection."

It's this kind of freedom and adaptability that makes her journey so powerful and possible.

Her Message to Women: Start Now

To women who left their careers post-marriage or after becoming mothers, Prachi offers a simple but urgent message: start now. Whether you're returning after a long break or exploring a new direction, remote work at MARSbySHEROES offers real opportunities to reconnect with your professional self.

"It's not just about money. It's about confidence, independence, and joy. You owe that to yourself."

She encourages women to explore different skills, try new paths, and most importantly, put their well-being and growth first.

How She Makes It All Work: Time, Priorities, Passion

• Time Management: Prachi believes this is key. "Structure your day, plan ahead, and protect your fitness and family time."

• Stay Active: Her sports background helps her teach her kids discipline and health through activity.

• Balance in All Things: From work to workouts to watching her daughter win matches, Prachi is proof that balance is not a myth, it's a choice. ​
