Events › Silicon Valley Reads Author Talk: The Woman In Deed - Road to IPO Bridge Tables and Beyond

Join us for an inspiring afternoon at the Saratoga Library as we welcome Vinita Gupta, the author of the memoir "The Woman In Deed - Road to IPO Bridge Tables and Beyond" for a lively discussion on leadership, legacy, and the power of connection. The book chronicles her remarkable journey as a "woman of firsts," focusing on how she navigated male-dominated industries with grit and authenticity.

As part of the 2026 Silicon Valley Reads program, this talk explores the intersections of professional success and the year's theme, "Bridges to Belonging." Come to discover how the 'deeds' we do today can bridge the gap between individual achievement and a sense of community belonging.

Moderated by Belal Aftab, Saratoga City Council member 

Chaired by Shailaja Venkatsubramanyan, San Jose State University Professor
