As the youngest CEO in the Tata group, Avani Davda is the woman behind one of the most talked about brands in recent times – Tata Starbucks.
An MBA graduate, Avani Davda began her career more than a decade ago with the Tatas. A readiness to learn and a willingness to work hard, aided her growth as she gradually gained exposure and experience in India’s retail industry. Last year, when Starbucks officially entered the Indian market, in partnership with Tata, Avani Davda was named as the CEO of the Indian arm of the company.
As Starbucks slowly expands its presence in India, maintaining the standards of the international brand, staying one step ahead of the competition and tapping the Indian consumer market are just a few of the challenges that are in store for Avani Davda in the next few years. However, Avani Davda is unfazed. She is confident of steering the Tata Starbucks brand to success.
Why we find her inspiring:
– For becoming the CEO of a globally renowned brand at the young age of 33.
– For juggling the demanding duties of a high profile job with the responsibilities of motherhood as a mom to a toddler.
– For daring to break the glass ceiling and for being a role model to other young and ambitious Indian women.

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.
