NAINA LAL KIDWAI...
CEO, Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corp., India Adroit & astute: she’s a lethal combo
Padma Shri Naina Lal Kidwai. Yes! The first Indian women to graduate from the Harvard Business School, she is also one of the first buccaneer banker’s who would put those male pirates to shame. Country Head of HSBC Group Companies in India, her pioneering leadership has helped HSBC India record the highest growth in net profit – a whopping 64% in FY07 – among all major banks in the country. Small wonder that the lady was awarded the highest civilian honour, Padma Shri in 2007 for her exemplary work in the field of Trade and Industry. Reaching the pinnacle of success in her chosen field of International Business and Management, Kidwai has won many laurels, including being named in the “50 Women to Watch” report issued by the Wall Street Journal in 2006. Passionate as much about her profession, as for social work, Kidwai advocates many causes including education, environment and women issues. “It is imperative for corporate India to engage with rural women and to translate corporate skills to NGOs and vice versa,” believes Kidwai, whose stature as an understated yet effective leader, is gradually moving beyond just the financial world.
