MUMBAI: Deputy Governor of Reserve Bank of India Shyamala Gopinath on Monday retired from the Mint Road office after 39 years of service.

“In my 39 years of life at RBI, never ever I felt that I should be treated differently for being a woman. Being women does not help or places one at a disadvantageous position at RBI,” she explained.

When asked about the highs and lows of her four decades-old career, Ms. Gopinath said she enjoyed managing many a crisis situation during her long years of service.

“There have been many testing periods during my career at the central bank. But I always enjoyed such situations, because our responsibility is to ensure that the public confidence in the system is not shaken,” Ms. Gopinath said.

Elaborating on the tough tasks that the RBI has to handle, she said government borrowing was always a tough job, especially during a crisis. — PTI
