JULY 2025
Beyond Boardrooms with Smita Shetty
What if everything you thought you knew about getting hired, building a career, and climbing the corporate ladder was incomplete — or worse, biased?
In this powerful episode, Dr. Mandeep Maitra, one of India’s leading voices in HR and leadership strategy, peels back the curtain on the real dynamics behind hiring decisions, workplace success, and the unspoken rules of the C-suite.
From inherent biases in recruitment to the truth about power dressing, from navigating C-suite complexity in Indian companies to integrating work and life in a post-pandemic world — this conversation is eye-opening, data-backed, and refreshingly honest.
