In this episode, Shivangi shares her journey from being a passionate lawyer specializing in matrimonial and media law to transitioning into the dynamic field of marketing and PR. She recounts how her early career in litigation, particularly in high-stakes divorce cases, taught her valuable life lessons and honed her communication skills. However, the COVID-19 pandemic became a turning point, leading her to explore digital marketing and social media, areas she had always been passionate about. Despite her success in law, Shivangi found greater fulfillment in marketing, where she could leverage her creativity and interpersonal skills, eventually rising to a senior marketing strategist role.

Shivangi also discusses the importance of self-advocacy and confidence in personal and professional life. She emphasizes that no one else will advocate for you, and speaking up for yourself is crucial, whether in a corporate setting or in personal relationships. Her transition from law to marketing was driven by her belief in following her passion, even if it meant stepping away from a traditional career path. She highlights the value of networking, building meaningful connections, and maintaining a work-life balance, especially as an expat in Dubai, where she found a supportive community through initiatives like Dubai Young Professionals.

Throughout the episode, Shivangi reflects on her lessons, including the importance of mental health, the need for companies to prioritize employee well-being, and the power of taking risks. She encourages listeners to pursue what makes them happy, even deviating from societal expectations. Her story is a testament to the idea that success is not just about financial achievements but also personal fulfillment and growth.Meet the Team:A dynamic mix of personalities and expertise, each bringing unique energy to the table. Abubakr Sajith, the unofficial leader (even if he didn’t ask for it), keeps things running smoothly with his finance, IT, and entrepreneurial background. Gazala Parkar, the PR pro, is the team’s caring yet no-nonsense mother figure, while Guhaesh Subramanian, the ever-networking master's student, plays the carefree uncle. Anas Memon is the resident numbers guy deep in finance, M&A, and private equity. At the same time, Aditya Poddar, with his love-hate relationship with his 9-to-5, embraces his role as the team’s laid-back producer. Eiman Ansari, the cybersecurity expert, provides comedic relief when she shows up alongside Liz Ann D’Souza, the creative force with a film and content creation background. And then there’s Zainab Netterwala, the IT and computer science whiz, who takes on the role of the little sister in this eclectic, ever-evolving crew.Connect with Us! 🌐X / Twitter: https://twitter.com/dollar_diariesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dollardiariespodcastLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thedollardiariespodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedollardiaries📬 Join Our Community!
