Bhandarkar graduated from IIM Ahmedabad in 1989. She was with ICICI and later JPMorgan for some years, and, since last summer, with Credit Suisse. Deals such as the $1.22 billion sale of Patni Computers to iGate earlier this year are all in a day's work for her.
After work, if it is not family or travel, it is learning Kathak or reading. Her dream project? "It will be in education, an opportunity to give back to society," she says.
