As I journey down memory lane, I'm transported back to a time of profound change when I left India to embark on a life-altering adventure in Switzerland. This transition marked a pivotal moment, one that left an indelible mark on both my professional path and personal growth.
This story unearths the initial hesitations I grappled with, the cultural acclimations I undertook, and the transformative experiences that blossomed from confronting these challenges head-on. Adapting to this new way of life as a family was an odyssey. It was captivating to witness how various facets of our lives, from our children's education to our culinary preferences, from work culture to societal norms, had to be embraced and adjusted to.

This narrative also stands as a heartfelt tribute to the incredible team that welcomed me with open arms, transforming what could have been a daunting experience into a seamless journey of growth and discovery during these years in Switzerland.
