Anupama Priyadarshini — CEO
Across 27+ years and four incredible institutions — Tata Steel, PepsiCo, IKEA, and ONDC — my work has revolved around one purpose: building strong, scalable businesses through clarity, governance, and empowered people.I’ve had the privilege of contributing to landmark strategy, M&A, and integration work at Tata Steel, driving major growth and capital investments at PepsiCo, scaling the global supply chain and expanding “Made in India” sourcing at IKEA, and most recently, helping build India’s digital public infrastructure at ONDC, where I also led Governance, Risk & Compliance and led private fund-raising efforts.But what defines me most is not the scale of the numbers — it’s my belief that transformation happens when Strategy, Purpose, and People come together.When people grow, businesses grow. That belief continues to shape everything I do.Today, I channel these experiences into Kahaani, my consulting and mentoring practice, where I help leaders and organisations grow with intention — through sharper strategy, stronger governance, and cultures that enable people to thrive. I also serve as an Independent Director at SabPaisa.I’m deeply passionate about governance, strategic clarity, culture-building, and unlocking human potential — scripting sustainable growth for leaders and the organisations they build.
