A female leader, you would like to meet.

Who is she?

What does she do?

Why would you like to meet her?

Throughout history, there have been many women leaders who have made a significant contribution to the field. 

Here I would like to talk about one of the renowned Indian female leader named Arundhati Bhattacharya.

Arundhati Bhattacharya is a retired Indian Banker and former Chairperson of the State Bank of India. 

She is the first woman to be the chairman of State Bank of India. 

In 2016, she was listed as the 25th most powerful woman in the world by Forbes.

She was born on March 18, 1956, in Kolkata, West Bengal, India.

Her father, Prodyut Kumar Mukharjee worked at Bokaro Steel Plant and her mother, Kalyani Mukharjee was a homeopathy consultant.

She completed her schooling from St.Xavier’s  School, Bokaro. 

She studied English literature at Calcutta’s Lady Brabourne College and then Jadavpur University.

Initially, she joined SBI as a probationary officer at the age of 22.

She has held several positions during her 36 years careers with the bank including working in foreign exchange, treasury, retail operations, human resources, and investment banking. 

She introduced a 2 years sabbatical leave policy for female employees to use either for maternity or elder care.  

During her banking career, she faced several defiances she likes to work out of her comfort zone. 

Her quote for success is "If you take the plunge, you will manage to swim across".

She was blessed with a supportive family at home as well as workplace.
She tied a note with IIT Kharagpur professor and engineer Pritimoy Bhattacharya.

Due to these reasons, I always wish to meet her personally.

Her life journey inspires me to do the work in all conditions in man dominating world.

Happy Learning!
