And, she used to fight with the contractors of the society.

She was a very ambitious girl. And, she believed that her talents should be fully utilized. So when she studied at Madras Christian College, she joined the women’s cricket team and became a guitarist in a women’s rock band.
She and her sister were raised by their mother. His mother used to ask him, “What do you do when you grow up?” So she worked hard to win the prize by answering her mother as best she could.

Indra started this journey from a British textile company called ‘Total’. After a short stint there, she worked for two years as a product manager at Johnson & Johnson and Mitur Beardsell.
There is an interesting context in Johnson & Johnson. As soon as she started working for the company, the company started producing women’s health related products. These products were first introduced in India.
However, in India at that time, the promotion of women’s personal health care products was banned. This was a big challenge even for an experienced marketing executive. However, Indra accepted the challenge. And, she achieved incredible success.
Meanwhile, one day Indra was playing with a magazine. It contained an article about the Faculty of Management at Yale University in the United States. With the help of her friends, she reluctantly filled out the application. And, not only was she admitted, she also received a scholarship.
