Everyone has a story but the ones that enlighten your mind and inspire your spirit are the best kind!
And here we are covering yet another Nucleite, Indu Anand, AVP Finnaxia Implementation and her 19 year old journey with Nucleus Software!
It is highly commendable for a woman to become AVP from a beginner and still burn the midnight oil to grow and learn continuously. Indu is grateful and humble when she narrates her journey at Nucleus Software. Her heart swells with pride when she recalls her achievements. She has donned many hats and explored many role changes with ease. She believes there is no dearth of opportunity in Nucleus if you are willing to grind and prove your abilities. Her biggest virtue was she left no stone unturned in producing results in whatever role she was given by constantly upgrading herself.
Indu did her engineering in late 1990’s and started as a developer thereafter. She completed level 3 certification and joined Nucleus starting with QA vertical. Indu exclaims how she got a massive learning opportunity in the start of her journey, however on her behest she was soon transferred to another vertical. Here she aggressively learned the product domain and her mentors helped in the transition. Gradually she was put to a client-facing role by Ms. Sandhya Verma, the BU head. This is how she progressed till 2013. During that time a parallel team was working on a product called Finnaxia and Indu was moved to a senior role of implementing the product to multiple customers. And today, Indu stands strong as the AVP of Finnaxia Implementation!
Greatness lies in humility!
Indu says her success mantra was that she always learned about her product and domain, even when she was in a management role she never lost touch of the basics.
Indu is thankful to her mentors like Vijay Sharma, Mohit Gupta , Alok Aggarwal , Harshit jain, Vishnu Sir and RP sir. Indu says the faith and respect shown by so many seasoned professionals in her abilities gave her strength to take responsibility and progress in her career.
Two milestones shared by Indu were a turning point for her, firstly ABN Amro ( RBS ) prestigious project where she and her team handled 12 countries live, secondly the launch of Finnaxia in Nigeria where she had to travel for smooth implementation. She came out in flying colors and owes her success to these notable milestones in her journey.
Indu’s message to the young professionals is to make all interactions with customers meaningful as the customer is the king. “They should give their 200% and grab any opportunity to learn and upgrade their skills.” – says Indu.
