A sneak peek at the woman behind Madhuri Vardhinedi, founder, Ennoble Technologies
The Proust Questionnaire is a questionnaire about one’s personality. It has its origins in a parlour game popularised by Marcel Proust, the French essayist, who believed that, in answering these questions, an individual reveals his or her true nature.
Madhuri Vardhinedi founded Ennoble Technologies, an IT company in 2016 at the age of 38. She is also an orator in Telugu and has helped edit the Telugu version of Amish Tripathi's 'The Secret of Nagas'.
Learning and exploring new things is always on the table for Madhuri. She helped in translating the book, Amaravathi, from Telugu to English. It was originally written by S Suryanarayana Reddy in Telugu and was published by him. Post the translation, the book has been very successful and thousands of copies have been sold.
Madhuri is also a karate expert and was awarded the Black belt in Shotokan Karate at the age of 42. As for her other interests, she is a Carnatic classical singer too.
