She Didn’t Follow the Career Path. She Built Her Own | WORDS & WORTH EP4 | Sharmini | DR KAY

"Beauty Queen. Bar Boss. Unbothered." | | WORDS & WORTH — WOMEN SPEAK FOR WOMEN HOST: Dr. Kayatri GUEST: EDIT: MELOREELS PRODUCTION HUB What happens when you spend your career in a field built for one kind of mind, and end up leading the people meant to follow in your footsteps? In this episode, we sit down with a woman who built her path through engineering — a field that rarely hands women the room to lead — and went on to shape it from the front, stepping into academic leadership and teaching the next generation who'll walk the same road. Sharmini takes us through her journey across engineering, education, and leadership — and what it actually took to be taken seriously in rooms that weren't built with her in mind. This isn't just a story about technical skill. It's a story about redefining what leadership looks like when you're the one who has to build the room before you can stand in it. Words & Worth is a podcast run by women, for women — creating a space for women to speak openly about their journeys, struggles, achievements and the lessons that shaped them. We believe every woman has a story worth hearing. 🎙️ Women speak. 💬 Stories inspire. 🔥 Women empower women. Watch, listen, share and join the conversation.
