Addressing the economic shifts in the post-COVID era, she noted its role as a game changer for the service sector.
Punj elaborated on how success varies across professions. โEveryoneโs in search of happiness, right? It is the most elusive thing in our lives. But I actually believe a lot of professional success is also tangibleโฆ For most businesses, yes, itโs profit and loss. But there are many professions where people provide a service that isnโt necessarily tied to money,โ she remarked.

She further shared her views on financial success, stating, โIf money canโt buy happiness, Iโd rather cry in a Ferrari than on the street.โ However, she also acknowledged the personal pursuit of happiness beyond professional achievements.
Having spent the past 13 years traveling extensively, rarely staying in a city for more than two weeks, Punj highlighted how success is an evolving concept.
For her, it is about the luxury of choiceโthe ability to carve oneโs own path rather than being confined by circumstances.
Her insights encouraged young leaders to embrace adaptability and resilience as essential elements of success as they gear up for FY 2025-26. The session also highlighted perspectives from young women leaders on driving growth and innovation in an ever-changing business landscape.
