Discussing about the same Dr Ishi Khosla said that women are inheriently powerful, more stronger and are more resilient and more smarter than many.
” I think the problem is that people sometime undermine our strengths. We are made to beleieve that we are not just up there and we need to be supported and we are not as smart be it any profession, or managing finance or anyother male dominated aeas where we are conditioned to believe that this is male world or domain. But I personally believe anybody who is undermining our strenghth can be handled by us. We can handle anything. Women need to think themselves important and self care,” she said.
Meanwhile, Sanchita Mukherjee said, “Women in leadership for me I have been in the financial industry my entire career. I have been a private banker now in wealth management. We pay our own bills. And the day you start taking the steering wheels of your car is a day you start taking the steering wheel of your life. And you start paying your own bills.”
