They didn’t drag her to the forest this time — they sent calendar invites.
She was the youngest COO in DevLok Tech, a billion-dollar startup disrupting everything but patriarchy. She built systems, scaled teams, walked through metaphorical fires to prove she belonged. And still, in every boardroom, she was questioned: “Are you sure?” “Can you handle this?”
She smiled. She overdelivered. She burned quietly.
Until one Monday, after a particularly patronizing “strategy sync,” she clicked logout. No exit email. No LinkedIn post. Just silence.
They whispered about her breakdown.
But Sita wasn’t breaking. She was building.
High in the hills, where notifications don’t reach, she founded Agnikaya — a retreat for women who’d had enough. Founders, freelancers, mothers, misfits — all walked in tired. All left lit from within.
There were no KPIs. Just bonfires, breathwork, and stories told without interruption.
When a young intern once asked, “But didn’t they exile you?”
Sita smiled.
“No, darling. I chose peace. I just didn’t ask for permission.”
Now, whenever the corporate world starts to smolder, some inboxes receive a mysterious invite:
Subject: Agnikaya Waitlist
From: Sita@logout.land
They say healing’s just a click away.
