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.

Today the corporate Scenario is totally different Indian women are no longer treated as housewife's or house makers. Today women are at par or even much ahead then men.
Speaking about the leadership of women in today's corporate world they are enjoying the impact of globalization and making an influence not only on domestic but also on international sphere
 
Indian women haven't been treated as housewives in metros for over half a decade now :)

Women are equal to men so we shouldn't really be awed with a women leader. If they can lead a house and a country, they can lead a company as well.

In a country where still female infacticide is unstopable and crimes against women are a day to day affair these achievers pave a way for the transformation of the society.
 
The issue of gender diversity on boards has received increasing attention globally in the last decade. However despite the progress that has taken place, women continue to be in the minority in corporate boardrooms. While some countries such as Norway and France have introduced mandatory quotas, other countries are seriously discussing intervention to tackle this issue. The European Union is proposing region-wide legislation if member countries do not act.

India is still at a nascent stage where inclusion of women in boardrooms is concerned. Women comprise only 5.3% per cent of BSE 100 company boards, according to recent research conducted by Standard Chartered Bank, Community Business and Cranfield School of Management. This percentage compares unfavourably not just with Canada (15.0%), the US (14.5%) and the UK (12.2%), but also markets such as Hong Kong (8.9%) and Australia (8.3%).
