DEAR READER,
Our annual issue on Most Influential Women is a celebration of Indian
women who are inspiring change and progress. The power list features
achievers driving sustainable growth across India and beyond. There is
always a buzz of excitement across our offices when we start on this project.
Advisory board members and editorial leads send in recommendations,
heated debates ensue and finally, the list is drawn up. The thing about such
a list is that there is seldom space enough to acknowledge all the inspiring
women leaders India has. That said, let’s look at our list this year.
