Meet WTW India Global Delivery Center Director, Anupama Subramanian.

Anupama is a seasoned Change Management strategist specializing in talent acquisition and retention, with expertise in aligning human capital strategies with business objectives across international landscapes. 

Anupama shared her insights with TradeFlock Magazine in their exclusive Women Leaders in India 2024 issue as she discussed the role of mentorship in supporting aspiring women leaders.

Sharing the need for women leaders to gain mentorship

Anupama explained why women find it challenging to take on new roles and how a mentor can nudge them towards achieving their full potential. In a conversation with WTW, Anupama mentioned she gained many of these insights through her experiences at the company.

"The question I hear frequently is – why is it so important to have formal programs where aspiring women leaders need a mentor? The answer is – saying women leaders need a mentor doesn’t imply that others don’t. There is however a definitive need for mentorship for aspiring women leaders for a variety of reasons," said Anupama.

"Reflecting on my journey, I recall several points of inflection where self-doubt has held me back. Access to mentors who could neutrally ask me questions that led me to making the right decisions has been pivotal. And yes, many of my mentors have been men," continued Anupama.

"A lot of seemingly confident aspiring women leaders may be facing these or other challenges and if you can help by being their mentor, please do let them know. You might just be instrumental in nudging someone who can be the next CEO! And to the women leaders out there, I sought out my mentors myself. So, what’s stopping you!" added Anupama.
