Three Indian women in Fortune 50 list

London: 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 businesswoman in the U.S. by the same magazine. 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.

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.— PTI
