"It is said money and power are two most important things and both of those in India are controlled by women. Be it the banking sector or running the affairs of political parties in the country women are at the helm of affairs. We are fortunate that Indian women are not only efficient leaders but also are the best ambassadors of Indian culture and history so I believe we are in good hands," said GV Sanjay Reddy, Vice Chairman of GVK Power and Infrastructure Ltd amidst applause at the interactive session - My journey beyond business – organised by the FICCI Ladies Organisation.

We hosted him to benefit from his experiences, the interaction was quite fruitful,"averred Ms Boochra.

GVK Emergency management and Research Institute (EMRI) is one such social initiative and is closest to my heart.
