More about Uma Kasoji
I am a management consultant-turned-entrepreneur. After a corporate career spanning 17 years, I decided to pursue my passion for diversity by co-founding ‘The star in me’, with a vision to bridge the gender gap in the workforce and in leadership.
‘The star in me’ is an exclusive career advancement platform for women professionals and a diversity partner for organizations.
From incubating consulting practices to spearheading transformation programs with C-suite leaders across 5 continents, and my recent foray into entrepreneurship, I have diverse experience. Serving on the Board of Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode - my alma mater, has added another valuable dimension to my profile.
I am a voracious reader, speaker and I often blog about professional life at https://thestarinme.com.

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
