Leading from front
The Most Powerful Women in Indian Business (BT cover, November 28) is a unique platform that brings together a bevy of successful women to share their experiences, hurdles and triumphs in the corporate world. I am sure the New Age women of today will be eager to learn and explore the values and strategies that have helped these women business leaders climb the heights of success and power.

Women-led Businesses
Historically, entrepreneurship has been a male-dominated pursuit, but as your cover story shows, many of today's most inspirational entrepreneurs are women. Women are working their way to the top of companies and starting their own businesses. Businesses owned by women are among the fastest-growing segments of small business owners globally. The time couldn't be better for women who are looking to start a business.

Redefining roles
Women are making great strides in business. And not just as personal assistants or public relations officers, but right up there at the very top. Some like Indra Nooyi and Chanda Kochhar run the most successful companies across the world and have become role models for businesswomen still on the way.

With reference to Power Seekers (BT, October 17), I am surprised that Jaiprakash Power Ventures Ltd. (JPVL), India's largest producer of hydropower in the private sector, did not find any mention in the story. We find it difficult to believe that any research done for the story did not reveal the relevant data for the group's efforts in the power sector. The company is working on projects of over 13,000 MW and was the first hydropower company to be listed on the stock exchanges in 2005.

The idea behind the feature was to capture the trends in the power generation business, especially in thermal power, in which there is heightened action. The names mentioned were meant to be representative, and not exhaustive.
