About Barkha
I am a technologist, coach, entrepreneur, and leader. Over the last 30 years, I have failed, struggled, lost, and every time I did, I learned and grew.
I AM.....
A Technologist. A Coach. An Entrepreneur. A Leader.
I have a 30+ year Journey where I failed, got fired, faced many, many challenges, and yet have persevered.
And it is through living, and failing, over and over again that I have grown and developed.
Failing has taught me Compassion. Perseverance. Determination.
