A former Bollywood actress.

In her book, The Freelance Mindset, Joy draws on her decade of freelance experience and interviews with 50+ freelancers to show how freelancing can improve our satisfaction and our finances – especially in an uncertain economy. She tackles the main challenges of losing a 9 to 5 identity and argues that by adopting a freelance mindset, we can harness the power to separate our identity from how we earn the money to pay for food, shelter, and everything else. What we do, she asserts, is not who we are.
Founder of Quartz Consulting, a freelance consulting firm that advises startups, venture capital firms, and Fortune 500 companies, Joy’s career has also included roles at Goldman Sachs, Gunderson Dettmer, and JioSaavn. She is the former head of legal at Syndicate Protocol. Joy holds a JD/MBA from Harvard University. As a freelance artist, she has performed in films including Farewell Amor, which was nominated for the 2020 Sundance Grand Jury Prize.
