Professional Affiliations University of California Berkeley Syracuse University University of Calcutta Quotes   I have never defined goals to chase after. I like to push myself in as many different ways as I can with whatever my current role requires of me.   I do not feel like I’ve arrived at the top, I still feel like I have a long way to go and a lot more to learn, despite spending the last 25 plus years being exposed to the complete world of IT in Intel.   I am very interested in being a part of the growth phenomenon that India is going through — its move towards digital literacy, the growing consumer market for electronics, etc.   I really want to give back to the community and am trying to do that to the best of my ability. The opportunity to head Intel India is really exciting because it gives me a chance to interact with the government, the industry and academia   Assisting women from lower income groups to become entrepreneurs by using innovative technology is another deep interest of mine.   India is one of the most important non-manufacturing sites for Intel globally, with over 3,500 employees. And we are drawing up our annual and three-year vision for Intel India. The broad themes are: We want to see how we can leverage the large engineering presence and muscle we have, to develop the India market.   One of my biggest challenges in India is to see how we can tap into the passion and drive of the engineers, in order to make a difference to the domestic market. It is extremely challenging to motivate employees to rise above and beyond what we normally expect from them.   I like that characterization of myself because it does capture a key essence of my approach — I do not define and chase specific goals, instead I like to push myself to constantly learn and grow. And so, I have a long way to go. I would like to do much more to help the community around me. My current role as Intel India President gives me a unique opportunity to both grow and to give. I am very excited about the possibilities.   I think that I would be a community leader, one who is involved with making and driving policies that further society. If done well, this can have a large impact on the lives of millions. Hope viewers caught up the spark…
