Alumni Memoirs

There aren't many opportunities to interact with others while on a career break, but going through the program, communicating with other moms on a day to day basis allowed me to express myself and helped me improve my communication skills on both technical and social aspects. Getting to know other moms who are trying to get back to work like you also helped me with moral support. Seeing others succeed made me feel confident and motivated me to achieve success.

"Mom Relaunch taught me so many things. The onboarding session, events, and weekly meetings taught us a lot. Being in this program was very good and motivational for me. The environment that Reena Gupta has created is very helpful for supporting your career; especially for stay at home moms."

"Mom Relaunch was a thriving platform for me to put together my ideas and to come round again with my work discipline. It helped to reinstate my passion that I was almost letting go of. Through this journey, I have also made some great friends that I plan to hold on to for life.
"It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities" -JK Rowling.
Mom Relaunch was one such choice for me and could be yours too."

"Mom Relaunch gave me a platform to resume my career after a seven year career break. It is a positive and motivational environment created for moms like me, to support a successful transition from a stay-at-home mom to a working mom."

"Mom Relaunch gave me a jumpstart after 10 years of break in my career."

I highly recommend joining the Launchpad program because it gives moms varied opportunities to apply their skills and think from a business perspective and learn how to design and implement solutions. Moms get a real-world view of the workings of an Enterprise system and applications.

My journey at @Mom Relaunch has been so, so gratifying. I have to thank so many people. What a leader she (@Reena Gupta) has been throughout, right from the beginning. She showed so much confidence in me, especially when I came to the Career Assessment…Reena and the entire @Mom Relaunch core team, they brought the best out of me….
One wisdom I've learnt along my relaunch journey: ‘never say no'!"

"The name Mom Relaunch, the name itself says it all, it's perfect, it was the thing I was looking for so I joined the community. It has been a progressive experience from the day I attended the first event till the time I got the job."

"The studying and learning part I can learn - there is a lot of material on the net, but hands-on experience is important. You only feel good after getting hands-on experience. So definitely after one month of joining, I got that feeling of confidence; that I was able to work and solve anything."

Being on project launchpad provides opportunities to collaborate with like-minded moms and interact with clients. The program adds value by lending a platform to gain experience on varied projects. Overall, the launchpad program is a great diving board that boosts moms' readiness to dive into the job market.

"Mom Relaunch had an uplifting environment, where I could assertively showcase my skills and was promptly accepted. Being part of the Core Team as well as well as leading the PMO team boosted my confidence"

"Mom Relaunch is an excellent platform that helps moms like me jumpstart our career after a long employment gap. During my time here, I have learnt new technologies, channelized my inner strength, and have become more confident."

"Mom Relaunch welcomes you with open arms and offers a plethora of opportunities for career returners. A brief stint here enabled me to reinvent myself and gain friends for a lifetime."

"Mom Relaunch is a workforce of women who thrive to learn together not only in technology but also motivate to improve oneself in every aspect of work culture where you can walk with confidence and achieve your aspirations."

At Mom Relaunch, you are not alone; you will directly connect with a close-knit community of like-minded women who will be your strongest supporters along your journey.

Launchpad's invaluable contribution to my career growth? Gaining experience by working on projects involving integration and solution implementation! Our Launchpad team gained experience on the whole deployment lifecycle process - from sandbox to production; this is something on which confidence can only be built by actually working on it! Without the Launchpad, it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to gain such an experience before landing on a Job.

The main thing I gained at Mom Relaunch is hands-on experience. I worked on three different projects. I found the clear requirements that I got from Core Team members most helpful. I had the opportunity to talk to them, discuss, and explain what I was going to do with the requirements. The Core Team members were very supportive when I needed them. The other skills I was able to improve were my Salesforce VisualForce, Apex, and business analysis skills.

"Mom Relaunch enabled me to gain confidence and hone my skills within a supportive, challenging, and meaningful framework. Now, I am renewing my career with an organization whose people and values resonate with me."
