Poornima Jha grew up in Chennai, though her roots are from Darbhanga, Bihar. She lives in Nuremberg, Germany with her husband who is her biggest fan and supporter. She has a bachelor’s degree in Engineering and an Executive MBA from IIM Kozhikode. Alongside managing a team of embedded software programmers in her day job, she is a lifestyle blogger and a marathoner. She has travelled to several countries on adventures.
