12+ Years
My Current Role
I am part of the BoldDesk team, where I focus on maintaining the overall quality of the product. I work closely with the development team to improve product efficiency and ensure that every release meets our standards. I also guide the testing team in consistently following established standard operating procedures, helping maintain a structured and reliable testing process. My focus is on strengthening the product while supporting the team in delivering a consistent and dependable experience for our users.
My Experience Throughout My Journey
This could include my life experiences, challenges overcome, personal growth, and lessons learned.
About Me
I’m generally an outgoing person who feels comfortable meeting new people. I make friends easily, enjoy talking with others, and like creating a positive atmosphere wherever I go. Making others smile and helping them feel comfortable is something I naturally enjoy.
Outside of work, I like going on long drives and listening to music. They give me a chance to unwind, clear my mind, and spend some quiet time away from the usual routine.
My Career Journey
As a child, I had many dreams. I wanted to be a doctor, then a teacher, an air hostess, a beautician, and many other things! But after completing my degree, I began looking for a job and attended several interviews, though things didn’t work out initially. Eventually, I came across an opportunity at Syncfusion and joined as a Testing Engineer in November 2013.
The role was completely new to me, and initially, I felt a little lost. However, I received wonderful guidance from my seniors, especially Yuvasakthi. Her support made a big difference in my journey. She helped me grow both professionally and personally through her constant guidance and support. What started as an unexpected career path has become a journey filled with learning, new experiences, and personal growth. I’m grateful for how far I’ve come and hope to continue this journey for many more years.
Key Learnings and Challenges
When I joined the Infrastructure team, I had the opportunity to work across different areas, including Website, DT, Build, and Consulting. Managing responsibilities across multiple teams was challenging at first, but it gave me valuable exposure to different products and helped me build strong experience in manual testing.
Although managing different responsibilities was challenging initially, the experience helped me expand my knowledge, adapt to different projects, and build a strong foundation for my career.
A Moment of Recognition
Our team received wonderful recognition from Velusamy sir for our hard work, which motivated us to push even harder.
During the Lead training held at Mathura, Vijay sir gave us direct appreciation, saying, “I never thought we could achieve this much from manual testing.” Hearing that from a GM was incredibly uplifting for me and Michael!
Being recognized by senior leadership made us feel truly valued. Knowing that our efforts were noticed and appreciated by management meant a lot to us and motivated us to continue giving our best.
We owe a lot to Velusamy sir, who always believed in recognizing and encouraging his engineers. His support played an important role in helping us grow into the team we are today.
Don’t seek immediate appreciation; trust that sincere efforts will be recognized at the right time by the right people.

Additional insights into my interests, experiences, and traits that shape my journey and perspective.
Gratitude Along the Journey
I’m especially thankful to Velusamy S sir for trusting me with responsibilities and believing in my abilities. I’m also grateful to Karthik E for his supportive leadership, which has consistently boosted my confidence and helped me navigate challenges.
Michael and Akash also played an important role in helping me settle back into work after my maternity leave. Since the product had evolved significantly during my absence, their support made it easier to get up to speed and reconnect with my work.
Above all, I’m grateful to my BoldDesk testing team for their dedication, willingness to go the extra mile, and understanding in different situations. I’m truly proud to be part of such a supportive team.
People Who Inspired Me
My mom has always been a huge inspiration to me. I admire how she adapts to any situation while staying kind and grounded. She taught me to stay positive and believe in myself.
My dad inspires me through the way he faces challenges without hesitation. His willingness to take on difficult situations has taught me to be brave and determined.
My paternal uncle inspires me through his strong work ethic. As the first person in our family to build and run his own business, he showed me that dedication and hard work can take you a long way.
My husband has been my rock during difficult times. He has taught me to face challenging situations with grace, strength, and a calm mind.
A Defining Moment in My Journey
One of the defining moments in my career was when Velusamy sir called me with the news that I was being promoted to Testing Lead and would be entrusted with overseeing the BoldDesk Testing Engineers.
It was genuinely one of the best days of my life at that stage in my career. I had never really imagined myself moving into a leadership role in testing, so the opportunity came as a wonderful surprise. Being trusted with such an important responsibility and knowing that my work had earned that confidence meant a lot to me.
That moment also taught me something important: we don't always have to wait for appreciation or recognition. Staying committed to our work and continuing to give our best can open the way for new opportunities and recognition.
A Phase I Would Relive
One phase I would love to relive is the time I spent working across different teams in the Infrastructure department. It was a special part of my career, not just because of the work, but because of the friendships I built and the joy I found in coming to the office each day.
I especially remember my time with the Website team. We were more like a family than colleagues, and some of my happiest memories came from the simple moments we shared during breaks and lunch. We also made it a point to celebrate each other's birthdays with cake and team lunches whenever we could.
Those moments may have seemed simple at the time, but they have become some of my most precious memories.
My Perspective on Leadership
To me, good leadership means continuously improving, staying honest, and taking responsibility for your decisions and actions.
I also believe a leader should know how to handle immediate pressure. When a stressful situation arises, focusing on the most urgent concern and addressing it calmly can help bring clarity and keep things moving forward.
My Advice to Young Professionals
Don't be afraid to take on difficult situations, even when you are not completely confident about handling them. Facing challenges instead of avoiding them gives you an opportunity to learn, take responsibility, and discover what you are capable of.
Every challenging situation you handle can make you more confident and prepare you for greater responsibilities. So, be willing to step up, face the situation, and keep moving forward. These experiences can play an important role in shaping your career.
