Fortune India Magazine - November 2015

In this issue

Fortune India brings out its 5th issue of The Most Powerful Women in Business in India.

The cover story captures the dilemma of professional firms whose ability to move beyond their founding partners is being tested now. Can organizations built on the back of pedigreed founders outgrow the vision of their partners? The story highlights Zia Mody’s firm AZB & Partners facing the challenge of building the next line of legal luminaries with whom clients feel comfortable. Can the high charging Zia Mody take a back seat for the new leaders? More on this on page 70

A new entrant to the power list (which begins on page 96) is Meena Ganesh. She has been a successful manager, investor, and entrepreneur. But it is her latest avatar as managing director and CEO of health care service provider Portea she promises to shake up the industry at every stage of delivery.

Page 88 is how Anita Arjundas is making sure of growth in the uncertain real estate industry.

Special note for the cover: The inspiration to look beyond the source of illumination shows Zia Mody looking past the temporary bright lights, literally and metaphorically. We also sourced a rare photograph of the young Mody in her student days—the makings of the lawyer. We thought you would appreciate a glimpse of what was, even as we discuss what is.
