They Don’t Wait for Change – They Create It: Meet the Women of vivo India Who Are Accelerating Action

Progress doesn’t happen in boardrooms alone—it’s shaped in everyday choices, quiet resilience, and the courage to push forward. This International Women’s Day, as the world talks about Accelerating Action, we turn the spotlight on five women at vivo who are already living it.
For Shweta, action means striking the perfect balance—securing the best deals at work while raising a fearless five-year-old at home. Silvie sees it in every career she helps build, proving that women don’t need special policies, just the right opportunities. Geetanjali finds it in data, decoding what consumers want while managing a long-distance marriage across continents. Tinu is redefining leadership in tech, proving that strong women at the top aren’t an exception—they’re the future. And Meghna? She is finding her peace in the world of creativity- reading and writing.
They don’t wait for change. They create it—one bold step at a time.
Shweta Sharma, Retail Management, vivo India
Growing up in a spirited Punjabi household in Delhi, Shweta always believed that life is about finding the right rhythm. Today, she brings that same philosophy to her role at vivo—securing the best cashback deals for consumers while juggling high-stakes partnerships with banks.
But her biggest partnership? The one with her boys—her husband and five-year-old son. She returned to work right after maternity leave, proving that motherhood isn’t a pause; it’s fuel. “How you raise your child shapes your own growth,” she reflects. Inspired by Indra Nooyi, she’s rewriting the rulebook for working moms—where ambition and family walk hand in hand, and no one has to look back, only move forward. She is a certified Yoga practinioner and says, “For me, yoga is not just a routine, it’s my sanctuary. It helps me connect with myself, feel liberated, and fuels the energy I bring to both my work and home.
Silvie Jain, HR & Admin, vivo India
Silvie calls herself an architect of talent development—for good reason. With 12 years of experience in identifying potential, nurturing careers, and fostering leadership, she has built a reputation for transforming individuals and organizations alike.
Now in her second tenure at vivo, she returns with a renewed mission: to empower individuals who push boundaries and drive meaningful impact. For her, talent development isn’t just about skills—it’s about fostering a mindset where people thrive, not just work.
“Women don’t need special policies—we need opportunities,” she says. Having seen more women step into leadership, she believes true progress comes from creating environments that encourage and recognize their contributions.
Her own journey reflects this. She credits her success to a strong support system—her son, who reminds her of resilience; her husband, her pillar of strength; and her leader, who fuels her confidence.
As Silvie continues to challenge norms, she remains driven by one belief: nurtured talent creates extraordinary change.
Geetanjali Srivastava, CRI, vivo India
Growing up in Varanasi, a city steeped in tradition and wisdom, Geetanjali always believed that knowledge was her ticket to the world. With a professor father and an academically driven household, excellence wasn’t just encouraged—it was expected. But when she chose to leave her small-town comfort to pursue an MBA in Mumbai, she stepped into a world far removed from the one she knew. It was intimidating at first—new city, new faces, and an entirely new way of thinking. Yet, she found her stride, fueled by curiosity and an innate ability to decode not just numbers but human behavior.
Today, at vivo India, Geetanjali is the bridge between data and decisions. As part of the Research and Insights team, she doesn’t just crunch numbers—she unravels stories hidden in consumer behavior, shaping marketing strategies with razor-sharp precision. But beyond her love for analytics, she’s also a poet, a dreamer, and a disciplined planner. “Slight spillovers throw me off. I need my day mapped out,” she laughs, reflecting on how meticulous planning keeps her world in sync.
For Geetanjali, every insight she uncovers isn’t just data—it’s a pulse check on people, choices, and change. And in the ever-evolving world of consumer preferences, she’s not just keeping up—she’s staying ahead.
Tinu Dalal, Online Business, vivo India
For Tinu, career growth has always been about embracing change. From her early days in banking and e-commerce to leading platform marketing for vivo and iQOO, she has navigated industries with confidence. But her biggest shift came post-COVID—moving back from Bangalore to Gurugram to be closer to family. “Career moves aren’t just about jobs; they’re about where you need to be in life,” she says.
Now, nearly three years into vivo, Tinu has found more than just a workplace—she’s found an extended family. But as a woman in leadership, she’s also had to challenge stereotypes. “People say it’s tough working under women bosses, but I’ve had some of the best mentors who were women,” she reflects.
While the tech industry is evolving, she believes more women stepping into leadership will make change inevitable. “The more we normalize women in decision-making roles, the more we break barriers. And that’s how real progress happens.
Meghna Choudhury, CMT, vivo India
Meghna’s journey is one of confidence and creative evolution. Born in Assam, the youngest of three siblings, she was always the one being looked after — but also, always encouraged to carve her own path. Given the freedom to explore her life choices and the responsibility to own both her wins and failures equally, she moved to Mumbai for her studies, exploring other professions before realizing her true love lay in words.
Copywriting became her playground—a space where no two days felt the same. “There’s no monotony in creativity,” she says, a sentiment that keeps her hooked. Beyond work, she values the simple joys—weekends spent unwinding, reading, or just being.
She believes the biggest misconception is that women don’t uplift each other. “My circle is proof that we do.” As more women enter leadership roles, she sees a future where the next generation reaps the benefits of the battles fought today. “We’re paving the way,” she says. “Hopefully, the next decade will belong to many more women at the top.”
