Praise for Found Again

"Inspiring stories of careers crafted by women, for women."

"Each story is brimming with courage, ambition and hope. I love them especially for their refreshing narratives that stay away from the jargon, the obvious discussions on patriarchy and the usual tone of male bashing. Whether you are a man or a woman, dreaming of a remote career or already thriving in one, already leveraging remote working strategies for your employees or exploring them - these stories will resonate."

"What a wonderful collection of real life stories of women who deliberately found their way back into the workforce! While their stories tell the harsh reality of the hurdles very talented women can experience, they also showcase their courage, grit and longing to fulfill their greatest potential. Congratulations Flexibees for being such a powerful enabler of bringing this talent back into meaningful employment. Each woman’s story is an inspiration for many many more who are walking the same path but also enables leaning on each other as a community. The future is bright but the work continues."

"Flexibees has been one of my favourite startups ever since its inception. Found Again: Real Stories of Women, Work and Flexibility is a labour of love from the brilliant team behind Flexibees, and it shows. These stories are essential reading for anyone who wants to understand why young girls - who are all over the cover pages of newspapers for topping the board exams - suddenly go missing when it is time for them to make an appearance in corporate boardrooms. Flexible working is the future, and these stories show us both why and how."

Meet the Authors

Deepa, Rashmi and Shreya are the three women behind FlexiBees, and the co-authors of this book.

Friends and batchmates from the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore 2008, they went on to build successful careers in leading organizations like Unilever, P&G, KPMG and Aptech. Keeping in touch with each other, they realized something was deeply amiss when Deepa, having taken a career break due to her mother’s terminal illness and a young child to care for, found it impossible to get back to work into a role that did justice to her past accomplishments.

They started FlexiBees in 2017 to help qualified women professionals return to work in aspirational and meaningful careers, through flexibility, that they believe is one of the biggest unlocks for caregivers to have fulfilling careers while being able to prioritize other key responsibilities.

Over the years FlexiBees has worked with more than 550 organizations from across the world and helped thousands of women make the journey back to work. They have helped create and normalize a new way of working and living, for both people and businesses.

In their spare time and between the three of them they travel, read, co-parent, paint, write and watch bad rom-coms. They dream of a world where each individual is able to design a life of choice, with meaningful work, but also the time to pursue hobbies and passions, invest in relationships and be their happiest, most fulfilled selves.
