“I was working with Goldman Sachs in New York. It was a coveted position and my friends were envious that I had landed it. But I didn't enjoy that at all. I loved being in New York but the financial services space was not for me. I've never been passionate about making money. Hence, the making money from money position was not for me,” she says. So...
“In the first, you can have a great career, prestige and money. If that's what you want to do then you should stay in the US because that's where the best opportunities are. But if you want to create impact, if you want to be the heart and soul of a company where the work you do matters, then you need to be an entrepreneur. And for that you need to...

But, like another wise woman once said, she concentrates on battles she can win. “The gender battl...
Ameera is excited about what the future holds for her company. “Metropolis has been in an expenditure phase for the past two to three years where we have been investing in our people, infrastructure, distribution, network and sales. Now I am hopeful about experiencing the results of the work we've been doing. This is on the short term basis. “On a ...
