Who is the first lady ceo of your India plus name?

I am not sure I understand your question, but I think you are asking for the name of the first female (lady) CEO in India. There may have been one in the 1950s or 1960s, but as with a number of other countries, it wasn't until the 1970s that more women moved into positions of power. Thus, there are several possibilities in modern times. One important female CEO is Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, an entrepreneur who began her own manufacturing and pharmaceutical company, Biocon, in 1978; today it is highly successful biotech company, known for pharmaceutical research, and she continues to be the CEO and Managing Director. In 2004, she was named India's wealthiest woman. Another influential woman CEO comes from banking and business. Naina Lal Kidwai, who became the first woman from India to receive an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1982. These days, she is the first woman President of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry. Mrs. Kidwai is also the first woman Group General Manager of India's branch of HSBC, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited.
