Like mother like daughter; Meher Pudmjee has kept up her mother Anu Aga’s legacy.
Maybe a sharp mind for business just runs in their family. When Anu Aga wanted to step down from leading the INR 3246 crore Thermax Ltd., it needed a strong individual to take the baton from her. And what better option than her daughter Meher.
Dubbed as a modern generation entrepreneur, Meher is an example of bright, young leaders of today, who know how to lead from the front. She completely deserved to spearhead the mammoth organization, once her mother retired and has managed to take Thermax to new heights.
Branching out to different countries, she has used her entrepreneurial skills to convert her mother’s dream into a reality and it was her dedication and diligence that resulted in the company’s expansion to countries like Russia, UK and the US. Meher Pudumjee has received critical acclaim and accolades from people and organizations of prominence and has also won the BS CEO Award for the year in 2007-08.
Why we find her inspiring:
– For not just being another spoilt, rich heiress
– For respecting her mother’s dream and turning it into a reality

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
