In this candid and thought-provoking conversation, Richa Bansal sits down with Harpreet Kaur, a first-generation product leader at Microsoft, to unpack the layered experience of navigating imposter syndrome as a woman of color in tech.
Richa dives deep into the internal struggles high-achieving women often face—especially in male-dominated environments—and guides the conversation toward actionable strategies Harpreet has used to stay grounded, authentic, and visible in her career.
Together, they explore how microaggressions, self-doubt, and cultural expectations intersect, and why building a strong personal brand is more than a career move—it’s a form of self-preservation. Harpreet opens up about the courage it takes to lead with authenticity and how she’s continued to evolve in an industry shaped by constant disruption and AI transformation.
If you’ve ever questioned whether you belong—even when your résumé says you do—this episode offers both resonance and relief. Richa asks the questions we all need answers to, and Harpreet delivers hard-earned wisdom with clarity and heart.
