Upasana Kamineni Konidela is currently expecting her first child with her superstar husband Ram Charan. Ahead of Mother's Day, we spoke to the entrepreneur and philanthropist, from the Apollo Hospitals family, about navigating pregnancy and impending motherhood.

She believes in the concept of personalizing maternity leave based on needs. According to her, "It is something we should definitely grow towards and evolve as a culture to bring more women into the workforce. This is something that I have experienced myself and I hope to put a structure to it so it helps the organization, the mother and doesn't compromise on the child and the home as well."
