‘Boss’s daughter’ is how fresher Aakanksha Bhargava was seen when she joined the family business in 2007. “Initially, getting work done by male subordinates was very difficult. The majority of people, be it my partners, clients, or customers, were apprehensive and hence they didn’t take me seriously. I had to really work hard to change their perception. Through a high level of commitment, patience, and conviction I was able to guide the company to success,” she says.
