Q: What inspired you to start your journey as a writer?
Saloni: I’ve always been a writer — even back in school. I grew up in several countries, which gave me the confidence to explore new things. I began my career as a management consultant in Mumbai, working 16–17-hour days. By 2020, I was completely burnt out. During the lockdown, I had more time to reflect, and I started writing again. I launched my blog in April 2020, sharing personal growth stories — about living abroad, adapting to India, and embracing change. What began as a side project soon turned into something bigger when a recruiter discovered my writing on Twitter and offered me a role in content writing. That moment changed everything.
Q: How did you transition from corporate consulting to the creative world?
Saloni: It wasn’t easy at first! Consulting is very structured — you have defined teams, roles, and goals. Startups, on the other hand, are chaotic and unpredictable. The first few months were tough, but I learned to embrace the excitement of change. Now I find it refreshing that no two days are the same.
Q: What milestones are you most proud of?
Saloni: Definitely turning my blog — something I did for fun — into a full-fledged career. Over time, I’ve written for multiple industries like crypto, travel, and fintech. My writing has been featured on podcasts and even in a book about digital nomads. These opportunities opened up doors I never imagined. I used to believe success was about following a set path — study, work, climb the ladder — but I now see it’s about exploring your own unique journey.
Q: What are your thoughts on women in leadership today?
Saloni: Having worked in nine countries, I’ve seen that women empowerment means different things in different contexts. But across the board — especially in India’s startup ecosystem — there’s progress. Companies are becoming more transparent about pay and giving equal recognition to women. To me, empowerment isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about giving women equal space to speak and be heard. That’s where true change begins.
Q: What’s your message for aspiring women leaders?
Saloni: Now is the best time to chase your ambitions. The world is ready for women to shine. Don’t let anyone’s opinion hold you back or make you dim your light. If I’d never started my blog because I feared judgment, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Take that first step — you never know where it might lead.
Q: How do you define success?
Saloni: For me, success is happiness — waking up excited to do what you love. During my consulting days, I dreaded mornings and thought that was just how work was supposed to feel. But once I started writing, I realized work can bring both fulfillment and income. True success is when you feel content and joyful about the life you’re building.
