Mrunmayi Oke spills the beans on the crazy experiences she had during demonetization and GST when she was working at Aditya Birla Retail, her leadership stint with Carbon Black and why she chose a Gen-Man role (despite having great opportunities at Google & Amazon). She gives clear pointers on what differentiates a good leader from a great one and how ABG has been a catalyst in making her a more holistic leader.
