Oisharya Das, CEO – Private Banking, Kotak Mahindra Bank said, “Each woman’s journey is unique; however, what is common among them is the drive, commitment and passion to succeed. Over the years, Indian women are slowly yet surely coming into their own – carving a space for themselves through knowledge, excellence, passion, and empathy. We are honoured to partner with Hurun India and celebrate the unrelenting spirit of 100 such women leaders – women who are living their purpose, blazing a new trail and inspiring millions of young and aspiring women.”
Anas Rahman Junaid, MD & Chief Researcher, Hurun India said, “Women-led wealth creation directly improves women’s employment, corresponding families, and society. Inclusion of women, who represent 50% of India’s population in the workforce or wealth creation, cuts across societal barriers. And therefore, wealth creation stories of women entrepreneurs and professionals bind us with emotion and the inspiration to work towards a more inclusive tomorrow, one which we have strived to achieve through the Kotak Private Banking Hurun Leading Wealthy Women List 2021.”
