Unconventional paths, told straight
Guests talk through the actual sequence of decisions and risks that got them somewhere worth talking about — not the highlight reel version.
Othra Podcast
Success rarely follows the map.
A show for the people who built something real off the beaten path — program leaders, career-switchers, builders, and quiet overachievers who don't fit the usual playbook. This is where that community gets built, one conversation at a time.

Shravani Ramaiah, PMP
Technical Program Manager · Supply Chain & Digital Transformation · Lawrence, NJ
Shravani has spent twelve years doing the unglamorous work that keeps large supply chain and technology programs from quietly failing — the missing signal from a Tier-2 supplier, the reporting dashboard nobody trusts, the forecast that's already wrong by the time it reaches a VP. She's led programs worth well over $12M across CPG, healthcare, automotive, and industrial IoT, and currently manages technology delivery at ITC Infotech.
Her path here wasn't linear: an engineering background, a stretch teaching AI and machine learning curriculum, a master's in IT project management earned while working full-time, and a growing LinkedIn newsletter on AI in program management read by over a thousand subscribers. That mix — technical depth, delivery discipline, and a habit of writing plainly about what actually works — is the lens for this show.
Othra Podcast is her attempt to build something bigger than a feed: a real community of people who got where they are without following a conventional script, talking honestly about how.

What the show is building
A real community, not an audience
Every guest becomes a node on the wall — connected, searchable, and a real point of contact for the next person walking a similar path.
Practical, not motivational
Frameworks, decisions, and tradeoffs you can actually use — grounded in program management, technology, and delivery at scale.
