Meet Kirti. She is furthering her career as a customer service manager with Corning Life Sciences India.
Quite passionate about education since childhood, Kirti went on to become the first female engineer in her family, an achievement that her parents are extremely proud of. That same dedication and love of learning set Kirti on a career path of her own design.
“Life has been a roller coaster ride for me. My father had the responsibility of raising five kids, and I always wanted to support him financially,” Kirti said.
Kirti taught school children during her college days to support her education and manage expenses.
She has been with Corning India for almost two years now and feels that Corning gave her a chance to excel in her skills in connecting with customers and solving their issues. Kirti said the aspect of Corning that she admires most is how leaders are accessible and stand by her, encouraging her to do better.
“It’s really a privilege to work with such happy people who keep me motivated to give my best every day when I log into work,” she said.
Always eager to learn new things, Kirti found her interest in customer service when she worked in the outsourcing industry right after college to support her further education.
“I realized that I enjoyed interacting with people and solving their queries rather than spending hours in front of my computer,” Kirti said.
In her role as a manager now, she encourages her team and co-workers to never give up on their dreams.
“I often tell my colleagues, if I can do it and be here, anyone can,” she said.
We are proud of women professionals like Kirti and know that they are shaping a brighter, clearer future.
