Is Meera Kaul a good Boss?

Sikha I am Shikha Srivastava. I have been a full time employee of Meera Kaul Foundation and a Director at MKF and Secretary to the Board as well since 2014 till 2017. I have worked closely with Meera Kaul and there has not been a single day when I have not been inspired by her.

Meera Kaul is a Amazing Boss.

Well my association with her starts way back in December 2014 when I joined in program manager in her Meera Kaul Foundation based out of Dubai and I was actually very apprehensive about how Meera would be in person because I read a lot about her, she being a business person with businesses across the world but when I met her I found her to very warm and approachable and I was amazed by her out of box ideas, the passion that she has for the foundation and also her excellent communication and negotiation skills. I have learnt a lot from her, she has been a mentor to me personally as well as professionally. I have seen her in her lowest of the lowest phases of her life and I have seen always bounce back stronger than ever. She has astounded us with her determination and grit. Wish you all the best Meera and keep inspiring us like this forever.

Is Meera Kaul a Good Guide for others?

Vanshi I have known Meera Kaul for many years as a friend and a warm enabler of women. She goes beyond the norm to help and empower women in our lives. She is and will always be a role model for me and my daughter.

Vanshi Kotru





My name is Vanshi and I’ve known Meera for over 6 years now. Now Meera Kaul was introduced to me by another Kashmiri friend Preeti Ghaya and she told me she has a friend living in Dubai and that I should definitely meet her cause she’s a really inspirational woman.

So, I met Meera Kaul through her and when I met her she seemed to be such a warm and affectionate person and she made me so comfortable in a new city introduced me to her network of friends, she didn’t have to do it, but she did nevertheless, she would just show to me what a selfless woman she was.

Anyways for me Meera has 2 different sides to her. So, 1 is her professional side and 1is her personal side. Professionally I think she is just really dynamic, she is a go getter, she is an over achiever actually. She’s made several brands and businesses and she’s a known personality in Dubai because she is a mentor and an advisor. I’ve personally seen her in various women-oriented events, contributing to women entrepreneurship or trying to advise women on her to start their startups because she’s been involved in that community. I know for a fact that she has also built businesses outside of UAE, in Qatar, Saudi, Silicon Valley and various other places.

Personally, to me, Meera has been more than a friend just like a sister. I once remember an incident when I went to Meera and I was like Meera I really need to shop, and she was like, why do you want to shop? I was like I really want to get new clothes and she was like come pick up whatever you want from my cupboard and it’s all yours and I was like look at this woman, like she’s just all about giving and I remember what beautiful times we both had, we just chilled out, we had dinners and lunches and just had a brilliant time.

She’s also been there for me whenever I needed any advice, I just pinged her and I was like Meera can you advise me on something and she’s always been there for me and I hope I can be there for her when she needs me to be there for her as well. Also, as a final thought, I think I can really compare Her to the bird ‘phoenix’ cause she has actually gone through a lot in her life, but she’s time and again risen from ashes and proven to the world what a bold and beautiful woman she is and she’s not one of those who would ever give up and she would just resurface back to life again and again and again and there is no putting down this woman cause she is one of a kind and she’s definitely an extra-ordinary person.

Meera I hope we get to meet really soon and I wish you all the best and success in life.

Salima Fassil Over the long time that i have known Meera Kaul, she has connected, enabled and made women empowerment possible. I know her through her contribution to the TechWomen Program of the State Department. I have mentored and been a huge part of MKF as well. I even traveled to Middle East to be a part of the outreach with MKF.



Salima Fassil

My name is Salima and I have known Meera since 2012, I’ve known Meera as a friend, mentor and someone I can look up to. She has welcomed me and my family to her house and life, she’s always been there for me whenever I needed advice and someone to talk to.

Meera Kaul’s Friend views

Sandali Sinha I have known Meera since we were 18. I have been with her through all the travesties of life and I have to admit- I do not believe a stronger person exists.



Sandali Sinha

This is Sandali and I was asked the question of who’s Meera Kaul and I was asked to make in a 30 second clip, but that quite difficult but I’ll try. So here goes really fast.

Meera Kaul is my friend for the last 25 years which is more than half our lives so that pretty much makes an authority of who and what she is. She is an extra-ordinary girl, there’s nothing mediocre about her, there’s nothing simple about her, she either is really really high up there or life just throws her down and then she rises from there.

In all her high she’s built businesses and brands that people are really envious of. She has forged friendships and she has had family member who would die for her, give an arm and leg for her, she’s travelled the world, she’s eaten in the finest restaurants, she’s had adventures that most people dream of, that’s quite a bit in a lifetime if you’re so young.

And when I say the lowest lows, she’s a 17-year-old Kashmiri refugee girl who left Srinagar with nothing, just hoping that her family would follow her, and they won’t be killed in the bargain. She’s been through some troublesome marriages if I can put it like that, but that’s not really brought her down, she’s had people who’ve backstabbed her, she’s had people who’ve tried to pull her down, she’s had people who’ve let down her trust and really really really made her cry. But has that got her down? No, not at all. She’s had illnesses that could prove fatal for anybody else. Has she come out of it? Oh yeah, and she’s much stronger now.

So, Meera, for me is still that simple 17 year old golden eyed bright beautiful Kashmiri girl who I saw the first day and she just couldn’t stop smiling, I could not wipe that smile off her face no matter what, she’s still the same girl, you cannot wipe that smile off her face world, no matter what you do, and that’s beautiful ,that’s my beautiful friend, Meera Kaul.

SISTERHOOD

Rubina If you tell me I don’t know Meera Kaul; then I will only say – Who else does; If I dont. Meera Kaul is someone I have known all my life and I know and understand who she is and what she stands for.

Rubina

My name is Rubina and I’m sure you want to know who Meera Kaul is. Meera is a childhood friend and I’ve know her since I was 10 years old. We used to play together, go to school together, go for tuitions together. We practically grew together. She had to leave Kashmir in 1990 and we lost touch, we connected after 21 long years in 2011, and I was surprised and fascinated to the same

beautiful, charming, happy, warm hearted girl who I used to play with when we were small kids.

Meera had not changed even though she was now a very successful business woman, but she was still the same beautiful girl I used to know. Meera has supported me through thick and thin, through my trying times during my professional life. She helped me get out of my comfort zone and I have been there for her too whenever she needed me.

Even though Meera is beautiful, brave, charming but she has one quality which I think she needs to change. She trusts people to the point of being silly and that’s what has given her a lot of pain. People who were small time employees in her company, she empowered them, gave them better opportunities in life, and they were the ones that eventually cheated her, backstabbed her and betrayed her. Meera being Meera forgave them and moved on in life. And that not only because she’s beautiful outside but beautiful inside as well. And that’s what Meera Kaul is all about.

Meera Kaul Family

Arti I am Meera Kaul’s sister. We grew up together. Need I say more?

Hi this is Arti and Meera Kaul is family for us. We have grown up together, spent family time together, we’ve gone to the same school, we’ve studies together, we’ve played house together, so we know each other as more than anybody else would know.

Arti

I know has being honest, loving, compassionate towards other people and a very helpful person. We grew up together and faced the same migration crisis, we moved ahead in our own fields. I always remember her as hard working and go overboard with be it studies, college, any spare of her life. I have seen her working hard setting up her new own businesses, working odd hours across time zones, whether its day or night attending all phone calls and working hard for her business. I think she’s a successful woman not because of anything else but her hard work and passion towards work. In simple words, I would say she is a success in our family.
