Driven Leadership

Very driven and self-motivated, she started her career as a Electrical Engineer (GT) in Tata Steel and managed a team of 40 members in Electrical Maintenance. She was amongst the very few women to pursue a full-time 2 year MBA in Finance post-marriage, but nothing deterred her from her ambition.
She worked at HSBC for more than 7 years, and finally served as the Head of Premier Banking, managing one of the largest affluent banking propositions in the country, and has been an asset to every field she has ventured in. She was rated among the top 3% of employees and was ranked # 1 EDC in 2010. She was also identified as part of the Country Talent Pool for HSBC, India.
Arpita has faced every challenge head-on and has extended her success story at Centrum as well.

She is not only an inspiring figure for all but is also a role model for women in the industry. She values empathy, sensitivity, diligence and resourcefulness in women, and believes appropriate mentorship is required to shatter the glass ceiling. Female professionals must also strike a balance between being consistent, and standing out by working in untested areas. To her, building a differentiated franchise and creating value is crucial.
Future ahead
