After completing a master's degree of business administration from the Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad, Charu Kaushal took on her first sales role in the late 90s. Her presence at the office drew wonder, skepticism and support in equal measure, besides a few challenges as well. "Back then, leadership roles were less accessible and biases were more apparent. There were moments I had to put in extra effort to ensure that my contributions were acknowledged and heard. Those experiences helped me grow and become more resilient," says Delhi-based Kaushal, managing director, Allianz Partners India.
