She introduced and grew Telstra's account including growing a bench of ICT professionals in a challenging environment and then delivered on those commitments. Ajanta was a great relationship builder and networker, spending the time to understand a client’s requirements, and then building a solution to those requirements.

Ajanta is an exceptional speaker and academic, whose presentations are filled with motivation and inspiration. Her speech profoundly impacted me, inspiring me to embrace change and courageously step outside my comfort zone. Previously, I was introverted and hesitant to build up new connections. However, Ajanta's story made me realize the importance of networking. Her influence encouraged me to actively participate in networking events and confidently kick off a conversation with others. Now I enjoy making connections with others. I am immensely grateful for her impactful speech. Ajanta is not only an excellent storyteller but also a sage advisor. She gave really useful and practical advice for beginners at the industry. She is a great role model for young women in tech like me. The courage and passion she instills in her audience are truly unforgettable.
