“Vedika Pawar became a mom 8 months ago, and she’s been even more unstoppable since.
Vedika Pawar is our VP Business. 8 months ago, she became a mom.
When she chose to come back to work, I asked her to choose when, where and how she wanted to get things done.
Here’s what happened next:
She closes most of her deals on WhatsApp.
Yes, WhatsApp.
Before clients even ask for formal emails, she’s already won them over with quick voice notes and messages.
Her clients know she has a newborn. Every single one of them.
And instead of doubting her, they respect her time even more.
They adjust meeting times. They celebrate her wins. They don’t need her in a conference room or with a camera on to trust her.
What surprised me most?
Her team stepped up without being asked. They cover for her when the baby needs attention. This taught me something important:
👉 Flexibility isn’t about being “”nice.””
It’s about being smart.
When you hire for skill and trust for character, location becomes irrelevant.
Vedika works in mommy clothes most days. Her efficiency is still higher than most others in formal clothes at desks.
To every working mother reading this: You don’t need to choose between your baby and your career. The right company will make space for both.
To every founder: Your best people might need flexibility you haven’t considered. Give it to them before someone else does.
Vedika, thank you for showing us what’s possible when trust meets talent.
And to all our clients who’ve been so kind and respectful during this journey, you’ve shown what real partnership looks like.
PS: Vedika works from home daily. The baby was in the office just once last week for our Diwali celebration, that’s when the picture was taken. She was driven in so they could both enjoy the festivities with the team.”
