Inspiring woman entrepreneurs
An IIT-Bombay alumnus, Kasturi started her career at Wipro in 1983 and rose
to become the CEO of the Finance Solutions division. After 17 years at Wipro,
Kasturi founded Tarang Software along with some of her colleagues from Wipro.
Indian IT industry has seen women entrepreneurs in the past and some who rose to
prominence with considerable support from their husbands, who themselves were IT
industry veterans, in creating successful entrepreneurial ventures. Kasturi, on
the contrary, has tried her hands at entrepreneurship like any male professional
of her ilk and nurtured and created a stable venture. While Kasturi has moved on
and is currently the MD of Novell India, Tarang remains a success story that
would motivate a lot more women to try their hands at entrepreneurship.
