Three Indian women -- ICICI Bank Deputy Managing Director Chanda Kochhar, HSBC India CEO Naina Lal Kidwai and Biocon head Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw -- have been named among the world's 50 most powerful businesswomen by the Fortune magazine.
The global recognition for the country's three businesswomen comes close on the heels of Indra Nooyi, the India-born head of global soft drink giant PepsiCo, being named as the most powerful business women in the US by the same magazine.
Her name does not figure in this global list of 50 published in the magazine's latest European edition as she has been named in the American list.
Chanda Kochhar, who belongs to the country's largest private sector bank, has been ranked 37 in the Global Power 50 list published in the October 16 issue of the CNN-Time Warner group business magazine. She has moved up ten positions from her 47th rank in the previous year's list.
HSBC India Chief Executive Officer Kidwai has been ranked 41, while Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Chairman and Managing Director of biotechnology major Biocon, has grabbed the 48th rank in the same list.
Shaw has moved down four positions from 44 in 2005, while Kidwai has returned to this list after a gap of two years.
However, another Indian women, Vidya Chhabria of Jumbo Group had figured in the 2005 list at 49th position.
Kochhar, 44, who was promoted to her new position in ICICI Bank in April, has added the bank's fledgling corporate banking operation to her retail responsibilities, the magazine said
