Chanda Kochhar - A Lifestory

A key player in Indian banking climbed the ladder to become the top boss at ICICI Bank, a job she held from 2009 to 2018. Her success story in the mostly male world of finance showed her skill in handling tough financial situations and leading one of India's biggest private banks. She started at ICICI and worked her way up. Her work led to great growth for the bank, matching India's economic rise in the 2000s. People who worked with her praised her good judgment and clear plans. One person called her a powerful leader, able to make big choices and handle tough market problems. But her time in charge wasn't without trouble. In 2018, she faced claims of wrongdoing, a story that filled the news and ended with her leaving the job. The investigations and court cases were like a big Hollywood movie, with lots of accusations going back and forth. This period hurt her reputation, very different from the praise she got before. What happened after she left ICICI Bank is still talked about a lot in Indian finance, a story with many turns that's as exciting as any Bollywood movie. Despite the problems, her story is a good example of leadership, ambition, and the difficulties of working in a highpressure job.
