After serving for over three decades in different geographic locations as a senior banking professional, Padmaja Iyengar took voluntary retirement to work in areas closer to her heart. She joined a non-profit organization engaged in providing urban governance solutions, as a Senior Consultant.

Gifted with exceptional communication skills and being multi lingual, Padmaja Iyengar is at ease in any environment.
She writes for pleasure – finds humor in everything!
Her motto – When the going gets tough, the tough get going…

When it comes to posting a feedback
On the works that they read with such relish -
Not knowing, their feedback’s what I cherish.
