Now, Speak Up Lady! by Deepika Chawla is a must read for women of the world. In fact, I would strongly recommend her counterpart to read this book and appreciate the potential of the better half of the world who carries half the sky on her shoulders. There is something in common in all the stories, which is that all women have certain challenges which they face with grit and determination. As a woman having gone through it all, you finally return to yourself, speak to yourself, and speak for yourself ~DR. SHAYAMA CHONA Founder-President of Tamana Association (Padma Bhushan & Padma Shri Awardee) Deepika is a bright shining star who have been inspiring others to realise their potential and take charge of their lives. I have seen the impact that she has had through the “Speak Up lady” program with my colleagues and myself on many facets such as personal branding, getting rid of our own inner biases, take charge and be the change. This book is a compendium of such real-life examples and experiences that could be a practical guide on how to rise above the self-imposed limitations and lead life and career with our heads held high. ~BALAJI VISWANATHAN (Managing Director & CEO, Expleo India) A Qualified CA & a financial professional with 3 decades of global experience, Deepika Chawla is a sought-after mentor for women professionals.
