Kalpana Morparia, 

From betting big on India’s economy to being vocal about her views on women in workplace, Morparia has been instrumental in helping J.P. Morgan go beyond its core business and become a part of the social fabric in the country. At a time when foreign banks were shutting branches, she opened three. The firm has also partnered with National Council of Applied Economic Research to address the issue of skills gap that plagues the country. Meanwhile, Morparia pushed the cause of bridging the gender gap in organisations.
