I’m Pamela Kundu, a technology leader at a global software company. Growing up, I was captivated by talk show hosts like Oprah Winfrey and Simi Garewal, admiring the profound insights they gained from their enriching conversations.

With over two decades in the technology industry, I turned to executive coaching in early 2021 to further develop my leadership skills. Through coaching sessions, I rediscovered my passion for engaging with people and learning from their diverse perspectives—something I cherished from watching Oprah and Simi Garewal as a child.

Between 2021 and 2023, I expanded my expertise in technology, delving into automation, AI, and blockchain, while also earning my ICF coaching certification. Despite these advancements, I found myself missing the meaningful interactions and varied viewpoints that once inspired me.

Driven by discussions with friends, family, and colleagues, I envisioned a platform to share stories of career transitions with a wider audience. This vision came to life on a rainy July day with the launch of “Transition Story,” featuring my coach, Sandhya Krishnan, as the inaugural guest.
