=== Early life === |

When Aruna started her career in IT, she joined right after business school and was expecting consulting type of roles, but the first assignment she had was maintenance. She thought all the cool jobs went to everybody else and thought she should be little above everybody else because she came out of business school. She complained bitterly for two weeks trying to get her role changed. Her manager one day called her and said, “Can you just shut up and get on with it. Five years from now, you will be very happy that I said this to you. You can learn far more from doing this than anything else, so be quiet and do your job” and so she did it for 18 months. |

She says “When you are 21 years old, you won’t have the ability to look at the big picture, but at least be patient. If you look at a career span of 30 years, 12 months or 18 months don’t matter. You should learn from every role that you have, learn from it and get on with it. I will never forget the person who gave her that advice”. |

Prior to assuming the role of CEO in January 2011, Aruna was the Global Delivery Officer for Capgemini Outsourcing, where she improved quality, productivity and profitability of Capgemini’s outsourcing operations worldwide. Aruna has over 2 decades experience in the IT services industry and has worked in both multinationals and pure-play companies. She has worked out of Europe and North America and continues to travel extensively, meeting customers, analysts and Capgemini staff, getting a pulse of customer expectations and market direction. Within a short period of being appointed CEO, Aruna has quickly made her mark in the world of Indian business. She was recently ranked 3rd in Fortune India’s list of 50 Most Powerful Women in Business 2012 and has also featured prominently in Business Today’s list of Most Powerful Women for two consecutive years. Recently, Aruna was awarded with India Today Woman in the Corporate World at the India Today Women Summit 2013. |

About the corporate structure, Aruna feels that “There is no glass ceiling. It is a myth. If it exists, it is in your head." She feels that there is no different leadership mantra for women and men. But she also understands the problems women face in their career and that is the reason why she has started talking to women in her company who are thinking of leaving for family and such reasons, and tell them it was high time they stood up for themselves. When Aruna got married and went briefly to her husband's place in Delhi, her mother-in-law took her around the neighbourhood to introduce her to friends. Jayanthi, who was working in TCS then, says she still remembers one of them asking her pointedly: "Abhi tak tumne naukri nahi chhoda? (You haven't left your job yet?)" |

"I just smiled and got out. There was no point in getting into an argument with this opinionated, old-fashioned lady. But women feel a lot of such pressures. You can't be just strong, you have to be super-strong and be extremely determined to overcome these challenges," says the Capgemini India CEO. |
