From designing cleaner engines for Mercedes in Germany to revolutionising e-mobility in India, Kasturi shares her journey of building from zero—across industries, countries, and challenges.

She opens up about finding her courage, asking for help, and navigating workplaces where she was often the only woman in the room. If you’ve ever wondered how to thrive in uncharted territory, this conversation is full of insights and stories that will inspire you to take that first step!
