BBC News - Start-up Stories: Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw: "Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw is one of the richest women in India. She is the founder of Biocon, a biotech company and Asia's largest insulin maker.
But the chairman and managing director attributes her success to her go-getting nature rather than entrepreneurial spirit.
Ms Mazumdar-Shaw originally trained to become a brewer in Australia, before returning to India to follow in her father's footsteps as a brew-master.
But she struggled to find a job on her return and recalls the industry wasn't ready for a strong female presence. 'The brewing industry is a very, very male dominated industry' she says. 'It's a male bastion.'"
