New Delhi: Vidya Chaabria, who successfully took over the reigns of the $ two billion Jumbo Group after
her husband Manu Chaabria's death in 2002, and Naina Lal Kidwai, probably the highest paid women
executive in the country, are the two Indians picked by 'Fortune' magazine in its world's top 50 corporate
women.
The "International Power 50" is composed of women who have an operating role in business profit
outside the US (including women based in the US who run overseas divisions, such as Coke's Mary
Minnick).
The 'Fortune' magazine, while selecting Chaabria for the third annual ranking of the International Power
50, has lauded the efforts of the 55 year old industrialist in taking up the challenge of running the group.
She runs the group's 28 business with the help of two of her three daughters and its flagship business,
the Dubai based Jumbo Electronics, is the largest distributor of Sony Products in the world, says the
magazine in its latest issue.
The group's Indian companies have interests in brewing and supply-chain management.
Chaabria has been ranked 38th in the International Power 50.
The 46 year old Naina Lal Kidwai, who is ranked 47, is probably the highest paid women executive in
India, says the magazine.
