How Women Reach the Top 1% is not only about working harder. Padma Shri and former SBI Chairperson Arundhati Bhattacharya explains why talented women are still overlooked, what keeps them out of the C-suite and boardroom, and which career rules help women rise into leadership.

In this candid conversation with Dr. Aditi Govitrikar, Arundhati shares why women should accept opportunities before they feel completely ready, how to build a reputation that rises above workplace gender bias, and why career breaks can quietly remove capable women from the leadership pipeline. She also explains why organisations may hire large numbers of women at the entry level, yet lose most of them before they reach senior leadership.

This episode explores:

• How to become visible without pulling others down
• Why your best performer may not be ready to lead
• How emotional intelligence creates better leaders
• What women need to do to enter the C-suite and boardroom
• How to manage career growth, family responsibilities and health
• The personal cost of reaching the top 1%

Watch until the end to hear Arundhati’s advice for every woman building a career, and what she wants the next woman leading one of India’s largest institutions never to fight for again.
