Raised by immigrant parents from India, she learned the value of perseverance and hard work from an early age. Their journey instilled in her a relentless drive to push boundaries, stay curious, and lead with purpose. “The best career advice I received was simple yet transformative: ‘Get out of your head and just do it,’” she recalls. This wisdom taught her that overthinking often masks itself as preparation and that real growth comes from courage and action.
For young women entering the industry, Sapna’s advice is clear: “Never stop learning. The world of Operations and AI is constantly evolving, and staying curious will keep you adaptable and relevant. Don’t be afraid to speak up, ask questions, and take up space; your voice and perspective matter.” She stresses the importance of surrounding oneself with mentors and allies who foster growth, reminding them that confidence is built through action.

Organizations are compelled to adapt swiftly to technological advancements, evolving workforce expectations, and compliance demands. “This challenge also presents a tremendous opportunity,” says Sapna. “Leaders in operations now have a seat at the table to drive strategic transformation. By leveraging data, automation, and cross-functional collaboration, operations professionals can shape more agile, scalable, and resilient businesses.”
Outside of her professional life, Sapna embraces balance and connection. Whether she’s leading a complex operations initiative or enjoying a game of pickleball, she believes in being present in every moment.
