By: Vinita Gupta, Shantanu Narayen - foreword

Narrated by: Vinita Gupta

Being the first is never easy. Taking a company public on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange is even more of a challenge. But being the first woman of Indian origin to take a company public in the United States? That takes a whole new level of grit.

This is Vinita Gupta’s story.

From her childhood years in India to the high-stakes tables of international bridge competitions, Vinita has pushed boundaries and defied expectations. In this book, she takes listeners through her personal and insightful journey of being woman CEO in Silicon Valley, fearlessly navigating male-dominated realms and leading with authenticity and resilience. Through business challenges, family crises, and the rebirth of a competitive card game, Vinita shows what it means to follow your dreams and turn them into deeds worth sharing.
