Sulajja Firodia Motwani, Vice-Chairperson, Kinetic Group 

Dressed in a black formal shirt and a slate grey skirt teamed with heels and minimal accessories, Sulajja Firodia Motwani cuts a striking picture. As we meet her one Saturday afternoon at a five-star hotel in Worli, her svelte figure belies her age and her no-nonsense disposition states that she is here to talk business. Patience clearly isn’t one of her virtues — halfway through our interview, she chides our photographer, who is taking her pictures, to finish the job at hand soon. “Hurry up!” she says.
