Lalita Gupte
March 6, 2009
Oalita started off her career as a trainee in ICICI Ltd (before it merged with ICICI Bank) back in '71. Serving with the company for the next 35 years, she rose through the ranks to become joint managing director of ICICI Bank, along with Kalpana Morparia in 2001. Lalita was hugely responsible for getting the bank listed on the New York Stock Exchange -- the first Indian organisation ever to do so -- and her inspiring career saw Fortune Magazine list her as the 31st most powerful woman in business outside of the US in the year 2001. Today, she is chairperson of the ICICI Venture board and also serves on the board of Nokia Corporation.
Life lesson from Lalita:
The seeds of long and hard labour always bear fruit.
