5. AGREEABLENESS & OPENNESS TO
EXPERIENCE
When Arundhati Bhattacharya was posted as General Manager (GM) in Lucknow
in 2006, she actually thought of leaving State Bank of India (SBI), the country's
largest bank. "My worry was finding a proper school for my child," says
Bhattacharya, the first woman chairperson of the 208-year-old public sector bank.
The decision to move to a new city was tough as she had spent most of her life in
Kolkata. It was then that her former boss and mentor M.S. Verma intervened and
prevented Bhattacharya from putting in her papers. "Having come so far in your
career, there is no question of giving up at this juncture. Things will sort
themselves out," Verma, who was the Chief General Manager and her boss in the
mid '90s, counselled her. Verma had also become the chairman of SBI in 1997.

confident streak, she says, ”If you take the plunge, you will
somehow manage to swim across.”

people at my job and never get bored," she says. As the first woman chairperson

initiatives for them, including a two-year sabbatical to pursue higher education, a
transfer policy which allows them to be close to their family, and special training

flexi timing and temporary deputation for women who are planning to start a
family and want to be with their parents or in-laws.“

"I have had to give up a lot of things, but given a chance, I would not
do a single thing differently. It's only a question of prioritising your
responsibilities. It depends on what you really want to do and how
you want to do it. I believe one should have their own standards to
