Break the Loop: Escaping patterns that hold us back | Ramya Parashar | TEDxKPRIT
The speaker explores how our lives revolve around loops - patterns of thought, behavior, and systems that bring comfort but also confinement. Found in our habits, organizations, and cultures, these loops can stifle growth and innovation. Her talk inspires reflection on the cycles we inhabit and urges us to break free, embracing change, creativity, and purposeful progress. Ramya Parashar is the Chief Operating Officer (COO) at MiQ’s Bangalore Center of Excellence, where she leads strategy, operations, and culture-building for one of the company’s fastest-
growing hubs. Her leadership is defined by resilience, people-centric transformation, and a belief that thriving in unpredictable environments demands both agility and empathy. Ramya’s journey began in a non-technical background, yet she has successfully navigated and led in technology and operations-heavy domains. This transition is central to her philosophy: that growth lies in embracing discomfort, risk, and continuous learning. Today, she is recognized for her ability to scale organizations with a balance of data-driven systems and human-centered leadership. At MiQ, she focuses on operationalizing strategy into action strengthening performance, building inclusive workplaces, and shaping a culture of innovation.
