Shraddha Chaplot

Cisco
Machinegineer
Shraddha has gone from Greengineer to Machinegineer, and is currently working on connecting the unconnected through Internet of Everything (IoE) experiments in Cisco's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) team. She describes this as her dream job, where her pastimes, passions, and pondering have become her playground at work. Before CSR, Shraddha was Cisco's self-proclaimed Greengineer, where she built and led Cisco's Energy Star Compliance Test Lab, qualifying the first 22 Cisco servers. She began her career at the company as a hardware engineer in the Accessibility team where she tested products, spearheaded a $100,000 Cisco Research Gift for the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), and brought on Cisco's first two interns who were deaf. A huge enthusiast of being your authentic self, Shraddha combines her love for engineering, STEAM (STEM + arts), hands–on projects, and wacky ideas to inspire and empower anyone and everyone, and in doing so, enabling them to realize their true potential. A member of Cisco’s prestigious Silicon Valley Civic Council, she is the Cisco champion for the STEAM initiative. Cisco was her first job after college, and after almost seven years of taking and making amazing opportunities, she can't think of anywhere else she'd rather be. Shraddha has been recognized as Silicon Valley Business Journal's (SVBJ) Forty Under 40 (2013), SVBJ's 100 Women of Influence (2014), YWCA's Emerging Leader for Cisco (2014), a Cisco Innovator (2012), and profiled as WeAreCisco (2015). She was named one of Verve Magazine's Indian Power Women, an Elle Geek, will be featured in Vogue India's March 2015 magazine, and will be speaking at Cisco's Women Rock-IT TV series. Shraddha is currently a board member on RIT/NTID's Foundation Board of Directors. Shraddha started as an intern at Cisco in Summer 2007 while getting her B.S. in Electrical Engineering (Machine Intelligence) from UC San Diego.
