During our conversation, Mita reflected on her upbringing in a predominantly white suburb in New Jersey, which offered her both challenges and insights into her identity as an Indian-American. This duality of experience, she believes, has been instrumental in shaping her approach to leadership and her passion for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Transitioning from the world of Unilever, where she played pivotal roles in breakthrough beauty campaigns, to Carta, she brings with her the ethos of inclusivity. Mita emphasized the importance of having more AAPI women in positions of leadership, shedding light on the barriers they often face and how resilience and adaptability have been key to her journey. She also touched upon the challenges faced by AAPI women leaders and how finding one's voice is an act of courage and self-affirmation. Her career is a testament to the power of authentic representation, demonstrating that it's not only about breaking glass ceilings but also about paving the way for others to follow.
