Vinita Bali, 

Bali is all about innovation in nutrition, such as Britannia’s Nutrichoice range of low-glycemic index biscuits for diabetics, and Britannia Veg Cakes. In addition, 99% of the company’s portfolio is now free of trans-fats. Sales went up 23% in the past year, pushing revenue to about $1 billion for the first time. “We produced 20 million packets of biscuits, cakes, bread, and dairy products,” Bali says. In 2009, she set up the Britannia Nutrition Foundation, which donates fortified products to under-served children. “Eating is not the same as getting nutrition,” she says. Bali was also part of former U.S. President Bill Clinton’s programme against childhood malnutrition through the Clinton Global Initiative.
