Going back to olden times, the society had been male-dominated. Women were put with so many restrictions and were made dependent on their husbands. But now times have changed. And women have shown that when it comes to excelling in any field, then they are not behind men, even if it is business. Well, many women have been successful in making their mark in every field of their choice. Still, some are yet to come out from the old male chauvinistic mindset of not allowing women to work outside. The topic of women’s empowerment has been a part of a discussion in debates.
Today women have achieved bigger heights and have proved their worth in society, and have indicated that they can accomplish anything if given wings to fly. There is hardly any field left where women have not shown their best. Be it fashion, politics, media, entertainment, or business. Giving a slight example from Indian cinema, earlier films were mostly hero-centric, but now there are talented actresses like Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut, and Taapsee Pannu, who can now carry the film on their own and can make a big success at the box office.
Women are no lesser than any superheroes, excelling both at home and workplace. They know how to balance things better than men. Today, I am going to refer to some top examples of Indian women who have excelled in business.
Vandana Luthra
Vandana Luthra is one such example of a successful Indian women entrepreneur. You all must be aware of VLCC Health Care Ltd. She is the founder of it.

This is an Indian government undertaking firm providing training for the beauty industry. She has been ranked 26th among the 50 Power Businesswomen in the Forbes Asia list 2016.
