Sunanda K. Chavan
The talent scout
Because: Not only does she head the Indian arm of the world's leading executive search consulting firm, top rated in corporate governance and CEO search, but she also set up the business in India. Because under her leadership, the firm has made a formidable name for itself, despite strong competition and presence of older players in the sector. Because she belongs to a small set of influential women whom top Indian companies have come to rely heavily for advice on leadership. Because as a member of the firm's global board she is a frequent commentator on corporate governance.

Secret to success: Be the best you can be, live every single day to its potential, and never stop striving for excellence. Be true to your work, your family and yourself.

Family ties: "Besides work, it is my family that keeps me occupied. I have two boys, aged 8 and 10, and I love to spend time with them."

On the side: She's passionate about development and entrepreneurship, and chairs the board of Friends of Women's World Banking, a global livelihood promoting institution.
