Some professionals follow a straight path into their careers, while others create their own way when no doors open, taking a path a bit off the beaten track! For Sandi Saksena, the journey began not at a conventional starting point but at the age of 44, when persistence, patience, and passion turned setbacks into stepping stones. What began as an unconventional entry into the workforce soon grew into a career built on resilience, people skills, keen observations of human behavior, an unshakable belief in possibility, and a positive take on the word “NO.” A very powerful word when used to one’s advantage, she has her own interpretation. For her, NO means New Opportunities. And when she says ‘No,’ it is about setting boundaries, limits, and a decision not to give in or give up.
