Breaking Stereotypes: 14 Years in a Male-Dominated Cement Plant | Sangeeta Pandey | Pacetalk Podcast

In this episode of Pacetalk, we sit down with Sangeeta Pandey, a chemical engineer who has spent over 14 years navigating the "hardcore" environment of cement plants. Coming from a family of six sisters in Bihar and Chhattisgarh, Sangeeta shares her raw experiences of being one of the few women in a field dominated by heavy machinery and loud sirens.
Key Highlights of this Podcast:
• The Early Struggles: Moving from a small town to Raipur for engineering and the reality of standing for 4-hour lab sessions to prepare for industry life.
• Gender Bias in Manufacturing: Sangeeta opens up about facing "typical male mentalities" where some bosses felt women didn't belong in production or were seen as a liability.
• Balancing Life & Career: How she managed professional growth, marriage to a fellow engineer, and motherhood while refusing to change her surname or quit her job.
• Beyond Feminism: The fascinating story of how she participated in a beauty pageant during COVID and won the subtitle "Mrs. Beyond Feminism," proving that a woman can wear safety shoes and 6-inch heels with equal confidence.
• Life in Extreme Conditions: Her transition from the 50-degree heat of Maharashtra to the sub-zero temperatures of Darla Ghat, Himachal Pradesh, the highest altitude cement plant in India.
This podcast is a masterclass in resilience, consistency, and leading by example. Whether you are an aspiring engineer or someone looking for the courage to make a difficult life decision, Sangeeta’s journey offers invaluable lessons

🎧 Watch till the end for a powerful perspective on women's empowerment, independence, and real-life struggles.
