Schauna Chauhan Saluja, 34 CEO, Parle Agro
Young and restless
Because: She is the force behind the aggressive new face of the Rs 1, 500-crore FMCG group Parle Agro. Because she has challenged international giants such as PepsiCo by first launching LMN, a lemon based drink in the Rs.1, 500 crore non-carbonated segment, and Hippo, a baked health snack in the Rs. 6, 500 crore branded snacked segment. Because she has expanded her company's international presence by exporting to over 20 countries. Because she refuses to stop there and is keen on taking over the beverage sector. Because she recently diversified into the carbonated water segment.
Biggest achievement: Adding a new factory in Orissa within a year with the aim of bolstering manufacturing capacities.
Through the looking glass: "We have two more manufacturing locations coming up in Mysore and Varanasi and are looking at becoming leading players in not just beverages but the food segment as well."
Role model: "I admire Warren Buffet because of his beliefs and way of doing things. It's not just for his business, but also for society at large."
