I am Yogita Tulsiani, a passionate individual with a consistent drive for excellence in academics, extracurriculars, and my professional endeavors. Throughout my academic and career journey, I have earned numerous awards and accolades.

I began my educational journey at Holy Child School and pursued engineering at the esteemed Delhi Institute of Technology, now known as NSIT. Subsequently, I completed my MBA at the prestigious Indian School of Business (ISB) in Hyderabad.

Venturing into entrepreneurship, especially as the first female in my family to do so, was a challenging yet rewarding decision. With over a decade of experience in business development and consulting across the United Kingdom, the United States, Europe, and APAC, I have played a pivotal role in creating new business avenues.

My clientele spans various industries, including financial services, telecom, retail, information technology, and learning, with notable associations such as Genpact Headstrong and HP. In my current role as the Co-Founder and Director of iXceed, I have led global expansions with exponential revenue growth.

One notable challenge I faced was entering the recruitment industry without a specific background in it. Despite this, I chose this path to address observed gaps and issues. Recognizing the transformative impact of technology on the economy, I aimed to bridge the gap in the technology skill market. My journey involves creating valuable relationships for clients and candidates by providing efficient talent solutions.

I firmly believe in the significance of women's entrepreneurship. Encouraging women to enter traditionally male-dominated sectors, such as business, not only changes financial mindsets but also contributes to the economic value of the world. Female entrepreneurs play a crucial role in job creation, offering diverse solutions to management, organization, and business challenges, thereby creating new value in society.

My current role as the Co-Founder and Director of iXceed Solutions has been a culmination of various roles in my career. I have undertaken global expansions with exponential revenue growth!

Thank you for introducing the Female Entrepreneur of the Year category to the TITAN Women in Business Awards. When we learned about this category, we decided to give it a shot. Honestly, our achievements today are the result of hard work, dedication, efforts, and countless sleepless nights from both me and my team.

I started my journey in this industry because of the gaps and issues I observed. I realized that technology is reshaping the economy since major players in every industry bank heavily on technology for not only automation but also to introduce process efficiencies and create innovations. There was a massive gap in the technology skill market. People were not getting the right jobs as per their skillset and ability.

Witnessing such a state of affairs, I decided to create valuable relationships for clients and candidates by offering efficient talent solutions. My goal was to contribute positively to the ecosystem, generate employment, and make a meaningful impact on people's lives. We ensure that every question in the context of our work is addressed, meeting the talent needs of our clients and fulfilling the dreams of our candidates globally.

I've always wanted to work for myself because I appreciate creativity, value freedom, and have a desire to explore new things. The challenges that come with entrepreneurship and the joy of success greatly appeal to me. I am passionate about creating value in the ecosystem, generating employment, and positively impacting people’s lives.

I have always aspired to make a meaningful impact and have been captivated by the success stories of accomplished entrepreneurs. It's truly fascinating how one can build something from scratch and turn it into an empire. Achieving this requires a blend of courage, planning, perseverance, hard work, teamwork, and effective strategy and execution skills.

A culture of growth, freedom, fairness and success.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic technology has become a global phenomenon. We consider it a great fortune to have our headquarters in the United Kingdom, not only one of the world's most innovative countries but also a leader in artificial intelligence progress.

Recently, the United Kingdom was ranked third globally for private investment in AI companies, following the United States and China. Our success is attributed to the conducive atmosphere, and the government's enthusiastic support of the recruitment industry and AI has been a significant factor in attracting thousands of applicants from the United Kingdom, the European Union, and other parts of the world.

Every company faces numerous challenges in building its reputation. Similarly, iXceed has confronted challenges such as managing global delivery and operations in different geographies across various time zones. Staying ahead of market competitors and adopting the latest technology to gain a competitive edge are crucial focuses.

Additionally, the impact of Covid-19 has affected every organization and sector. Businesses are grappling with the pandemic's consequences, and HR cannot remain unaffected. Organizations are interconnected ecosystems, and aspects like maintaining organizational culture, acquiring and retaining talent, and engaging a remote workforce have become critical concerns for HR professionals.

Strategies we've adopted include:

- Investing in R&D: Introducing new lines of business focused on digital solutions.

- Utilizing new-age technologies like AI and ML to build sustainable business practices.

- Implementing AI-based talent solutions, revolutionizing the recruitment industry.

I draw a lot of inspiration from Indira Nooyi as she is my role model.

My mother stands as my greatest source of inspiration. Confronting numerous hardships while raising us in challenging circumstances, she consistently instilled in us the values of strength, self-belief, and the importance of hard work. Her guidance was simple yet profound—be resilient, have faith in our efforts, and entrust the rest to destiny. It is from her that I learned the art of working tirelessly towards my goals.

There is no age limit to being an entrepreneur. All you need is to believe in the dream you've envisioned and do whatever it takes to make it happen. Having confidence in yourself, especially when others might dismiss your dreams as mere fairy tales, is crucial. This is precisely what I believe in. Freedom from prejudices, biases, fear, and inhibitions is essential. Giving back to society holds great importance.

I would like to end with my favourite quote by Rumi (13th-century Persian poet).

“It’s your road and yours alone, others may walk it with you but no one can walk it for you”.
