When it was time to return to the corporate world after a 12-year hiatus, Mekala Mani chose Prodapt and found it to be the perfect fit. “From my first interview, I knew Prodapt was where I needed to be,” she says. “The culture here really values the diverse experiences I gained during my break, which was incredibly reassuring.”

During her time away, Mekala experimented with farming and ran bootstrapped businesses, honing crucial skills in people management, adaptability, and risk-taking—skills that now enrich her role at Prodapt, where each day brings new challenges and growth opportunities.

Mekala believes the phrase “doing is the new learning” perfectly captures her experience at Prodapt. By sharing her story, she wants to encourage others who’ve taken career breaks to return with confidence and find a place that values them and their journey, including the career break!
