On the Work-Life balance front, Esha says, “We are in an age where we tend to mix up things personally and professionally. We need to be sure where to stop things in the office.” In her commitment to excellence and innovation, Esha has initiated something called “Coffee with HR” so that employees can share not only their professional grievances but also their personal ones. “Sometimes all we need to do is hear it out, and that’s what Coffee with HR is all about.” It was initiated for mental well-being and a healthy environment. Family is of immense importance to her. “Family is incredibly important to me, and I cherish spending quality time with loved ones,” she says. She cherishes spending time with loved ones, fostering strong connections and creating lasting memories. Real-World Problem Solving: Innovation is not pursued for its own sake. The goal is to develop solutions that address genuine user challenges and positively impact their lives.

Not all grass is green, and to make the grass green, you will have to put in effort. Do Not Give up Midway.” Mentorship programs and cross- functional teams foster knowledge- sharing and collaboration. “Finally, we actively build diverse teams to fuel innovation.” Through this approach, Esha fosters a culture of human resources that actively contributes to creating impactful innovations within the IT industry. Her leadership style ensures that cutting-edge technology translates into real-world benefits for both customers and the broader IT landscape. My leadership approach centres around a few key principles: Empowering Talent, Open communication, Data- driven decision making and Recognition and Appreciation. “At the core of our innovation strategy lies a commitment to exceeding customer expectations, not simply chasing the latest technical feat,” she explains. This philosophy translates into fostering a culture where user experience is paramount. By integrating these principles throughout its operations, Fermion Infotech contributes to a greener future for the tech industry in several ways: Looking ahead, Esha's vision is simple: to adapt to technologies and stay updated on the technical front. “I am always there at many seminars, trying to spread and gain knowledge,” she concludes.
