With Microsoft celebrating 50 years, I’ve been reflecting - not just about the scale of the company's global impact, but the deeply personal influence it’s had on my own journey. 

​

Every so often, life presents you with a fork in the road. For me, it was choosing between music and technology - two passions that have shaped how I think, lead, and create. I chose tech, but the rhythm of music stayed with me, influencing how I connect ideas and people. 

​

Microsoft has been more than a career chapter - it’s been a launchpad. From business development to consulting and then stepping out to build my own company, I’ve learned that change can be an invitation to grow - if you’re willing to lean into it. 

​

A special part of my journey was shared with my father, who also worked at Microsoft. During the pandemic, despite being in different countries, we worked on projects together - learning from each other, blending perspectives across generations, and strengthening our bond through shared purpose. 

​

Growing up in Goa, I never imagined my Degree in Computer Science would lead me down the Microsoft Dynamics path - one that brought opportunities in Singapore, New Zealand, and now Australia. 

​

And in one of those serendipitous “only once in life” moments, it was a work trip to Sydney tied to Microsoft technology that led me to meet my husband on the Manly ferry. What started as a career opportunity helped me build a life filled with meaning. 

​

But perhaps the most lasting influence Microsoft had on me was through its mission - to empower every person and every organisation on the planet to achieve more. That mission stayed with me. It’s what drove me to start Sasbri Consulting: a business dedicated to empowering Microsoft partners to thrive - not just survive. To help them unlock their potential, build resilience, and truly realise the value of their partnership with Microsoft. 

​

Through my time at Microsoft and the incredible work I’ve done with Microsoft partners, I’ve been surrounded by brilliant colleagues, bold customers, and generous mentors. You’ve helped shape who I am today, and I’m grateful for every conversation, challenge, and celebration we’ve shared. 

​

I continuously feel inspired because Microsoft’s story isn’t just about technology - it’s about people, purpose, and possibility. And I’m proud to be a part of that story.
