For years women have been told to lean in—a phrase popularised by Sheryl Sandberg in her book ‘Lean In’. The idea was simple: speak up, sit at the table and push forward in your career. But what if the real leadership move is knowing when to walk away? A growing number of senior leaders are reframing what leadership progress actually looks like. In the new book ‘Walk Away: Step Out to Step Up’, authors Sally J. Clarke (@sjclarkeauthor) and Deborah Overdeput (@bee_hive_603) share stories of women whose defining career moments weren’t promotions or pay rises—but the decisions to walk away. Not out of frustration or defeat, but as a strategic step towards greater alignment, purpose and impact. For some, it meant leaving organisations where their values no longer aligned. For others, it meant stepping away from prestigious roles to build companies, pursue mission-driven work or redefine what success meant on their own terms. Alice Chen, Maha El Dimachki and Dr Meena Kaushik are just some of the leaders who share their pivotal “walkaway moments” that ultimately reshaped their leadership journey in the book—and also did so on stage at the recent Singapore launch of the book. Sometimes the most powerful step forward isn’t leaning in harder. It’s knowing when to step out—and move towards something better. Photos: Gemini, Getty Images #PowerandPurpose

Priya Nair will take over as CEO & MD of Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) on 1 August 2025—the first woman to lead the company in its 92-year-long history. Nair’s appointment isn’t just historic; it highlights the fact that the number of women leading India’s largest, professionally-run firms are very few. While many women helm prominent companies in India, most lead family-run businesses or operate in banking and healthcare. In India’s biggest consumer-facing corporations, women CEOs remain rare. LinkedIn’s March 2025 data reveals women hold just 30.6% of leadership roles in India—a number that’s barely moved in two years, despite consistent links between gender-diverse leadership and stronger financial performance. Nair joined HUL in 1995 as a management trainee and has shaped some of its biggest brands—Dove, Rin, Comfort, and Sunsilk—over her 30-year-long career. She has led key businesses across India and global markets, including as the President of Unilever’s ₹1.1 lakh crore Beauty & Wellbeing division. Her leadership has been defined by category turnarounds, data-led strategy, and global growth. Her rise is a reminder that leadership is shaped by long-term strategy—and companies are watching.

Not all fairy tales begin in castles or end in glittering ballrooms. Some start in the quiet corners of Kolhapur, Maharashtra — where dreams are often whispered, not shouted — and unfold on the grandest of global stages. Leena Nair's story is one of those rare modern epics: a woman who broke every mould, rewrote the rules of corporate leadership, and stitched her name into the history of one of the most iconic luxury fashion houses in the world — Chanel.

India’s trade data with China for 2023 reveals a significant discrepancy, sparking concerns over potential anomalies such as under-invoicing and misclassification, Mint reported. According to World Bank data, India’s imports from China stood at $99.59 billion, 18.2% lower than China’s reported exports of $117.68 billion in FY23. The data gaps are not a new phenomenon and were noted for FY22 as well and the data gap has only risen in FY23. This discrepancy has widened from 15.5% in the previous year, with India’s imports valued at $102.63 billion, significantly lower than China’s reported exports of $118.50 billion in FY22. China remains India’s largest trading partner, with bilateral trade reaching $118.4 billion in 2023-24. However, the significant gap in trade data raises concerns over revenue losses and inaccurate trade accounting. Experts attribute the discrepancy to various factors, including under-invoicing, misclassification, and inconsistent reporting practices, the report mentioned.

The wealth of the 10 richest people in the world – a list dominated by male US tech billionaires – increased by a record amount after Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election, according to a widely cited index. The Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimated that the world’s 10 wealthiest people gained nearly $64bn on Wednesday, the largest daily increase since the index began in 2012. Much of the gains for the top 10 was because of a surge in US stocks on Wednesday as investors anticipated a low-tax and regulation-light policy platform. The gains came as tech business leaders, including Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, and Apple’s Tim Cook publicly congratulated Trump on his election win. Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, registered the largest increase with a $26.5bn addition to his fortune, which now stands at $290bn. The prominent backer of Trump’s campaign, benefited from a surge in the share price of Tesla. Bezos, the world’s second richest person, added $7bn to his near-$230bn fortune, and Larry Ellison, the chair of the software company Oracle, historically a Republican supporter, increased his wealth by nearly $10bn to $193bn.
