New Delhi: Vidya Chhabria, who successfully took over the reigns of
the $2-billion Jumbo Group after her husband Manu Chhabria's death last year,
and Naina Lal Kidwai, probably the highest paid woman executive in the country,
are the two Indians picked by Forbe magazine in its Worlds top 50 corporate
women.
The "International Power 50" is composed of women who have an operating role
in business profit outside the US (including women based in the US who run
overseas divisions, such as Coke's Mary Minnick).
The Forbe magazine, while selecting Chhabria for the third annual ranking of
the International Power 50, has lauded the efforts of the 55 year old
industrialist in taking up the challenge of running the group.
She runs the groups 28 business with the help of two of her three daughters
and its flagship business, the Dubai based Jumbo Electronics, is the largest
distributor of Sony Products in the World, says the magazine in its latest
issue.
The group's Indian companies have interests in brewing and supply-chain
management. Chhabria has been ranked 38th in the International Power 50.
The 46 year old Naina Lal Kidwai, who is ranked 47, is probably the highest
paid woman executive in India, says the magazine. PTI
