Sunaina Mehta left a powerhouse corporate career at 50β€”not because it failed, but because she wanted to author her own power instead of inheriting someone else's definition of success. She helps women move from restlessness to purposeful direction. This conversation explores what "graceful rebellion" actually looks like, how to build influence without losing yourself, and what it takes to be done waiting for permission. Khudania Ajay (KAJ) leads this conversation for women ready to design what comes next on their own terms.
