Can you tell us about your background?

I started my aerospace career in India with a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from SRMIST, Chennai, with a minor in Computer Science. Wanting to broaden my horizons, I decided to pursue a Masters in Aerospace Engineering at ISAE-SUPAERO in Toulouse, France.

As part of my Masters, I did a six-month work placement at Airbus, where I worked on simulating cockpit applications and understanding system behaviour. It was an excellent practical experience that enabled me to progress both technically and professionally. After graduating, I was delighted to join the Rolls-Royce postgraduate programme, where I continue to learn and develop in a fast-paced international environment.

Why did you decide to pursue an international career?

The idea of pursuing an international career first took root during my undergraduate studies in aerospace engineering in India, where I took part in global design competitions. Working with people from diverse backgrounds opened my eyes to the power of cross-cultural collaboration. I realised that if I wanted to evolve, I had to get out of my comfort zone.

This mindset led me to pursue a master’s degree at ISAE-SUPAERO in France, where I adopted a new academic culture and worked with international peers. My internship at Airbus confirmed that innovation thrives on diversity, and now, at Rolls-Royce, I continue to work in multicultural teams on cutting-edge projects. This journey has shaped not only my professional skills, but also who I am. I hope to inspire others, particularly women from under-represented backgrounds, to dream big and seize global opportunities.

What advice would you give to someone looking for an international career? Or one word that would define your career?

If you’re considering an international career, take the plunge. It’s scary at first: you’ll miss home and face challenges, but growth begins where comfort ends. Be open-minded, ask questions and make connections with people; most of them are friendlier than you think.

Learn the language, explore the culture and let yourself adapt. There’s nothing wrong with feeling lost sometimes – find some basic routines and don’t compare your journey with others. Accept discomfort as part of the experience. Above all, remain humble and grateful. The world is vast and full of lessons. As you discover it, you’ll also learn more about yourself.

An international career is not just about professional success; it's about becoming a fuller, more open and more adaptable version of yourself.
