What it means to receive the UNIMO Rising Star award

Sometimes the name speaks for itself, this is one such example.  When I ventured into writing a few years back, it all started with a single blog post. Having a 9 year corporate experience in Digital space and 2 years as a hyperlocal start-up founder, I took to writing considering it as a known territory. B.Tech by education, I felt I understood the nuances of internet and worldwideweb. Boy, what unfolded was a multi-layered zig-saw puzzle, with no one defined path to success.

Looking back today, I feel very content and sometimes in awe of what I have achieved as a writer, blogger and influencer. I am extremely honoured and fortunate to be receiving such an industry recognised award. The “Rising Star award” is a prestigious validation of my body of works and I am eternally grateful to Neha Kare Kanabar, founder of UNIMO and the jury members, for this recognition.  For a community of this scale, I am sure every other nominee was as capable, if not more, of winning this award. Thank you for believing in me, in my courage and my ability to inspire others – EVERYDAY. What an evening of glitz, glamor and energy. What an extravaganza, with renowned personalities from across the board as chief guests, comperes and sponsors.

My genuine whole-hearted shoutout goes to Momspresso for providing me immense encouragement towards building 10 million views across my articles. A stepping platform from where I went on to write for magazines, TOI and many others. My love for you will never outgrow.
