Leading with Commitment

Just like there can be no flower without thorns; similarly there can be no success without hard work and constant efforts. Its only the determination and constant practice that can take you places, This is how Charu Bhargava, IT Manager, Sheela Foam, enunciates her success mantra.
Hailing from the city of Agra that gave us the Taj Mahal, Bhargava considers her a self-starter, with an acumen to interpret challenging situations swiftly.
Interestingly, in this era when most of us are reluctant to be tied down to a single organisation for too long, Bhargava has not even moved out from her first job.
Well, for many folks, it might not be a good idea, but I always trust a long-term allegianceboth in terms of personal and professional lives, she says.

If your organisation and bosses are giving you constant opportunities to learn and grow, then what more do you need? After all, money is not everything in life she reasons.Its not very often that we find a queen bee reigning in this mostly male-dominated and not-so-charming profession of information technology. Then what prompted Bhargava to choose IT as a career, especially considering that she had no relevant academic background in this field?
After I completed my bachelors degree in commerce, I was in a fixwhich path was I to pursue? However, soon I realised my calling and began working as an analyst. Slowly and steadily, thanks to all my bosses and seniors, I grew and gained a lot of exposure in several dimensions of this field, she admits with a smile.

As the years passed, Bhargava employed her experiences in constructing and implementing successful ERP solutions in her organisation.
IT apart, Bhargava is also fond of old Hindi film songs. And, the IT lady with a weakness for poetry loves listening to compositions penned by Mirza Ghalib and Jagjeet Singh.

She is an ardent fan of Anil Kapoora leading Bollywood actor, and will not miss any of his flicks.

According to her, there is no substitute for hard work and one should solely try to contend with himself. You might grab eyeballs by creating hype, however, one should always remember that hype is short-lived. At the end of the day, its hard-work and positive attitude that takes you to front seat, Bhargava strongly believes. She does not have any great attachment to a particular designation. If you are not an owner of the organisation, you are just an employee. What matters most is what you are doing, and how well you are doing , she says.
