Meet Ipsita Dasgupta, a powerhouse who is spearheading a new path in sports and digital media. She talks to Aabha Bakaya about motherhood and life in the fast lane.
As the president of strategy and incubation, Ipsita Dasgupta leads Star’s Pro Kabbadi League’s business as well as Hotstar (ex-India). Her transition to media was an unusual one, having come from the global manufacturing conglomerate GE. To add to this, her academic background includes an MBA from Harvard Business School and a degree in mathematics and economics from Columbia University. Dasgupta admits it’s challenging to balance a career she’s passionate about with being the mother she wants to be to her young daughters, but says her family helps her make it work.
