Kiran Mazumdar Shaw
March 6, 2009
Kiran was the country's richest woman as of 2004, with an estimated net worth of Rs 2,100 crore. This gutsy lady was the daughter of a master brewer with United Breweries and although she initially considered following in her father's footsteps, fate had other things in store for her. Instead of opting for the beer industry, Kiran founded her biopharmaceutical company Biocon in her garage back in 1978, with a capital of Rs 10,000 and today, it is India's biggest biopharmaceutical organisation. Cheers to that!
Life lesson from Kiran:
It's better to forge your own path rather than tread one laid down by others.
