Kamini Ramani with Judy Estrin and Srinija Srinivasan

Tech leader Kamini Ramani joins us with her modern playbook for success, culled from the inspiring stories of a largely unrecognized cadre of luminary women of Indian heritage.

About the Book

“I wish Lotus Leadership had been around decades ago.”—Reid Hoffman

We’ve been ignoring the surging force of Indian women in American business for far too long. Not anymore. Speaking with more than thirty women of Indian heritage excelling in American business, Silicon Valley tech executive Kamini Ramani noticed a pattern: their success came from neither emulating men of any ethnicity, nor “leaning in.” Instead, these women drew—often unconsciously—from the learned wisdom prevalent in Indian culture, specifically in the stories of Hindu goddesses.

In Lotus Leadership, Ramani distills the paths of these exceptional women into one framework that anyone can follow. At the core of this wisdom is an embrace of duality that encourages harmony rather than dissonance; an emphasis on the collective over the individual; and the ability to own your power with calm and resilience.

In her no-nonsense “Auntie” style, Ramani unveils a new way of leading:

Embracing both your so-called feminine and masculine sides in harmony.

Letting curiosity guide you–not the pursuit of titles, ladders, or a paycheck.

Building harmonious life partnerships that take a long-term view of “having it all.”

Living in abundance beyond material wealth to include a happy family, a strong team, philanthropy, and investing in one’s community.

Combining all these traits in a way that is completely unique to your strengths and your journey.
