Life can be difficult, but if it were not, it would be boring.’
Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, chairman and managing director of Biocon, is a scientist par excellence, an innovator and counted among the most powerful women globally. She is India’s richest self-made woman, a philanthropist, a proud Bangalorean, a vociferous civic activist and the recipient of a litany of awards and accolades.
Today, at over sixty years of age, she remains as unconventional as her rebellious younger self, whose confidence helped her turn failures into successes and challenges into opportunities. But where does one find the motivation and drive to continue to cross milestone after milestone? As Biocon’s tagline goes, ‘the difference lies in our DNA’.
Read on as Gunjan Jain tries to uncover the answers to these questions and more in this impressive profile of an impressive woman.
