Swati Piramal, 53, Director, Piramal Healthcare
Once again in the BT Power List. Does it still enthuse you?
Yes, yes. Absolutely. This year, I became the president of ASSOCHAM. I have invited 100 women to chair all the national committees this year. What helped me in this effort was the little club we started with the 25 women who made it to the BT Power List every year.
