7 Questions with Bharti Mishra
Name: Bharti Mishra
Current title: Founder

Bharti is a founder of professional development platform. Her team is building and is to launch the platform for professional development in emerging markets and a matured market. In the coming days individuals will have to own their professional development because the society is made up of selfie generation where humans are less sociable. The relationship between employee and employer is short lived so employers are reluctant to make long term investment in employees. Humans life expectancy and professional life expectancy has increased. Human professional career graph is non- linear .

Bharti has received the most important leadership lessons from her family. She comes from a land owner family in India and has been responsible for taking care of laborers and their family for generations.
She has been raised in the energy industry and has got most of her leadership lessons from the energy industry. While growing up she experienced installation and production of steam chamber turbine based power plant and gas chamber based power plant. Leadership is very challenging in the energy industry because the industry exists at the intersection of many industries such as the mining industry, steel industry, telecommunication industry, oil and natural gas industry, infrastructure industry and security and surveillance industry. The industry is challenging because the ecosystem is made up of private agencies, government agencies and international agencies. She has wonderful experience observing her mentors solving the problems of the energy industry.
In addition, during her childhood, Bharti’s school worked in partnership with Mother Teresa’s foundation near metropolitan Kolkata where she helped to homeschool underprivileged children and to raise funds to help the poor.
