Krushna Patel, India

As what they say, "A rose only becomes beautiful and blesses others when it opens up and blooms. Its greatest tragedy is to stay in a tight-closed bud, never fulfilling its potential.” Here at Hitachi ABB Power Grids, I am not surrounded by any boundaries.

Hitachi ABB Power Grids culture knows the importance of empowering women at work.  The company actively encourages women to take more risks and opportunities; we receive continuous support from leaders and our teams—an ideal way of building self-confidence for female employees like me. Hitachi ABB Power Grids do not compromise on the basic needs of women employees, such as ensuring a safe, secure, and comfortable work environment. I am so grateful that I am part of this team which has good collaboration, teamwork, transparency, optimism, and trust within team.

At the beginning of my career it feels exhilarating to hold a position of factory controller at Hitachi ABB Power Grids for High Voltage Service India. This position is dynamic and challenging at the same time. This make my work exciting. It pushes me to try to be better and improvise in my day to day work. I enjoy my work here and I am given the vast opportunity to collaborate with different teams, outside of mine.

I am excited for our future as we accelerate synergies and foster collaboration with Hitachi where we can support and provide an even stronger and more sustainable energy solutions to our customers.
