S4E10: Role Transitions

Role transitions is a feature of life be it in personal, professional or social spaces and is important for one’s growth. It often involves a complex web of relationships, responsibilities, boundaries, power, authority, choices and constraints. All this is further anchored in a socio-cultural context as well as personal dreams and aspirations based on the stage of one’s life. How are role transitions negotiated by men and women? What are the trials and tribulations involved? What role does gender stereotypes play here? How does a young, well educated, married woman with a child, equally committed to family and career, experience this phenomenon? To explore this subject and more, here’s a conversation with Lakshmi Subramanian, currently working as a chief content consultant for Rubix Data Sciences. She has had a rich career in financial journalism, worked for a leading global market research & analytics firm and is the founder of ‘Paridhi’, a brand of exquisite designer jewellery for women.
