Check out the ultimate guide to 16 return-to-work programs in India for women
Often referred to as the “mother of private equities” in India, Renuka Ramnath is the Founder and CEO of Multiples Alternate Asset Management.
Renuka Ramnath is a veteran in private equity. She started her financial career in ICICI in 1986 and she continued to steadily climb the corporate ladder for the next 23 years. Being a young single mother of two, Ramnath had to juggle her work responsibilities with her parenting duties. However, she did not let her challenges deter her from her dreams. Under her leadership, ICICI bank’s private equity arm, ICICI Venture, went from being a below $100 million proprietary fund to managing funds over $2 billion, making it one of India’s largest private equity firm.
In 2009, Ramnath quit ICICI to begin her entrepreneurial journey with Multiples Alternate Asset Management. Her impressive track record, extensive experience and superior networking skills helped raise funds for her new company – in less than a year, she managed to mobilise $350 million.
Today, Ramnath has carved a niche for herself in the private equity market. She has often been recognized as one of the most influential women in Indian business, earning a spot on Fortune India’s 50 Most Powerful Women In Business list as well as a place on Business Today’s list of most powerful Indian businesswomen.
Why we find her inspiring:
– For her remarkable success through hard work in an industry which was once a male bastion.
– For having the guts to branch out on her own when she felt that she had hit a glass ceiling.
– For not letting the challenges in her personal life hinder her professional progress.

If her MIL had accepted her with some affection, wouldn't they have built a mutually happier relationship by now?
The incident took place ten years ago.
Smita could visit her mother only in summers when her daughter had school holidays. Her daughter also enjoyed meeting her Nani, and both of them had done their reservations for a week. A month before their visit, her husband told her, “My mom is coming for 4-5 months!”
Smita shuddered. She knew the repercussions. She would have to hear sarcastic comments from her mother-in-law for visiting her mother. She may make these comments directly only a bit, but her servants would be flooded with the words, “How horrible she is! She leaves me and goes!”
Maybe Animal is going to make Ranbir the superstar he yearns to be, but is this the kind of legacy his grandfather and granduncles would wish for?
I have no intention of watching Animal. I have heard it’s acting like a small baby screaming and yelling for attention. However, I read some interesting reviews which gave away the original, brilliant and awe-inspiring plot (was that sarcastic enough?), and I don’t really need to go watch it to have an informed opinion.
A little boy craves for his father’s love but doesn’t get it so uses it as an excuse to kill a whole bunch of people when he grows up. Poor paapa (baby) what else could he do?
I was wondering; if any woman director gets inspired by this movie and replicates this with a female protagonist, what would happen?. Oh wait, that’s the story of so many women in this world. Forget about not giving them love, you have fathers who try to kill their daughters or sell them off or do other equally despicable things.
