Sonali Tambe Founder of FIS Global Recognized as the Most Inspiring Women of the Year 2022 by Business Mint

I completed my education as a Master's in Media Entertainment and Advertising with a specialization in Films at  Kishinchand Chellaram College, Churchgate. The start of my professional career was a hilly road because I was always a clueless kid. I had tried my luck in several sectors but it never worked out for me. This was when, literally by fluke, I gave an interview at my first job and was placed as an intern. After this, I was promoted to a senior position as a PR Executive. It’s my then boss, who I still see as a mentor, who pushed me to my limits and made me realize my potential. My lack of knowledge in this field was visible but what stood up for me is my boss’s encouragement and my liking for this glamor world with celebrities. However, I decided to quit my job in the year 2020 citing to mental health reasons.
 After some freelancing gigs and failed job opportunities, then came COVID-19 and nationwide lockdown! People were losing jobs, surprisingly then, I got a job offer from another agency which made me realize something – that changed the course of my actions. This situation had me feel like I’m worthy of something great; greater than working under someone. This is when I decided that I should start something of my own and honestly, I didn’t have anything much to lose. My first venture came into existence Oakpinion PR, and here I am now Handled Lakme for 5 seasons and Influencer Marketing for 2 seasons LFW & FDCI.
