Indomitable - A Working Woman's Notes on Work, Life and Leadership, by Arundhati Bhattacharya

"Most of the time, women believe that what lies ahead is a precipice. Whereas, if you continue to drive and stay on the path, the road will open up in front of you, and you will reach your destination. You don't need to turn around and abandon the journey."

Indomitable is the story of Arundhati's life as a banker and the challenges she faced in a male-dominated bastion. Her audiobook takes the listener through her childhood and early education in the 1960s, getting to Kolkata for her college education and then into the State Bank of India (SBI), where she started her career. The life of a woman banker with a family in a frequently transferable job isn't easy. In Arundhati's life, too, there were breaking points when she almost thought of quitting her career to balance her aspirations with her family's needs. But she didn't give up. Instead, she faced her challenges with humour and positivity and took up every assignment as a new chapter in learning and adapting. So listen to this audiobook now and get inspired!
