“Via an introduction from a mutual friend, Rupa proactively reached out to me for what I thought would be a friendly networking conversation. This made perfect sense because I had launched TechWalk, a networking community for Tech and SaaS professionals, which offers weekly walks in city parks led by industry experts. A few short weeks later we would be announcing Rupa's induction as Chapter Director of the first satellite TechWalk community located in Silicon Valley! I think this is typical Rupa! Organized, ambitious, thoughtful, thorough, and quick to recognize and nurture every opportunity presented in her path. Since becoming involved with TechWalk, I have had the pleasure of witnessing Rupa truly grow and evolve in her role as a community leader. It has been amazing to watch her apply her product management expertise combined with a growth mindset, to pivot and adapt to situations as is required when your product exists to serve and elevate others. As a founder, it can be extremely challenging to trust others with the care and nurturing of your startup. With Rupa at the helm of our Silicon Valley Chapter, I've never had a moment's worry that she would treat this initiative as anything less than her own. I would not be surprised if the Silicon Valley outpost outpaces the original NYC location under Rupa's careful eye, attention to detail, and unmatched determination. Any organization that aligns itself with Rupa can't help but to be successful by whatever yardstick they define their goals.”
