Deepanjali Lahiri
Chief Operating Officer
Deepanjali Lahiri is an experienced Project Management professional with 13 years of experience across IT, Retail, and FMCG. She has spearheaded large-scale business projects to establish strategic directions for companies in the growth and acceleration stages. She has a corporate career history of consistently improving brand and employer value propositions through seamless execution, governance, and continuous improvements. She is a product of a non-traditional career path; after completing her graduation in Hotel Management, she quickly realized decision and direction-making task forces were her callings. She has navigated her career journey with a "learn by doing" mindset since she didn't have the traditional career trajectory one would expect from a Strategy, or Project Management professional. She is passionate about working with organizations and individuals to create a seat at the table for those who need a voice of support. She wants to be a champion of change.
“Wear your identity as a Muslim woman with pride. Hold your head up high because when you do others will follow ”

KNOW OUR CHAMPION OF CHANGE
LedBy's COO, Deepanjali got featured by the IDR for her exclusive piece of article on Muslim women in India’s workforce: Where are they? The article was published in 2021 and discusses why Indian Muslim women are practically invisible in leadership positions and boardrooms across the country.
"Deepanjali is not just involved and invested in me but with every cohort member. She personally prepared me for interviews, GD’s, CV formatting, and gave me juicy tips, which resulted in my placement in the organisation I was looking for. Every other woman deserves a mentor like Deepanjali, who literally light up the lives with her charm."
