LISTEN: Shalini Govil-Pai’s (breaking) stereotypes
Shalini Govil-Pai is a tech and media executive at Google, who previously worked at Pixar on films like Toy Story and A Bug’s Life. It was a great chat about her experiences coming up in a very male-dominated technical field, and the lessons learned along the way, as well as some of the reflections on today’s media culture. Whether growing up in Bombay / Mumbai India – surrounded by Bollywood (and Amitabh Bachchan) – or creating a new life in America and the Silicon Valley, Shalini’s not afraid of taking risks and challenging the status quo – all because of her deep connections with her family, friends, and community.
