Shikha Sharma - A Lifestory
Leading Finance, Shaping Futures: A Banker'S Vision Realized

She is a name that means strong leadership and new ideas in Indian banking. Her story is like a good Bollywood movie, with many changes and a happy ending. Think of a real life version of "Queen" (2013), but instead of finding herself in Paris, she changes how banking works in India. Before leading Axis Bank in 2009, she worked at ICICI Bank for almost 30 years. She watched it change from a finance place to a big bank for everyone. People who worked with her say she could see the future. They say she could see what was coming and know what would happen in banking. As one person who worked with her, Mr. Verma, said, "She could find chances where others only saw problems." She worked at Axis Bank from 2009 to 2018. During that time, the bank grew a lot and focused on new technology, like the technology shown in the 2001 movie, "Indian." Every leader has hard times, like a tense moment in a Cricket World Cup final. She handled them well and kept going. This is how she became known as a leader who changed banking.
