Today, her son Siddarth has settled in New York. Her daughter Nupur is based out of the island nation of Singapore. Her husband Sanjay is a practicing chartered accountant in Varanasi. There is one thing that occupies her thoughts these days.
Kant says, yet again, her family support system and the SBI’s residential colonies made it possible for her to pursue her career, as well as rear her children.
But more than that, what gave her the impetus was the fact that working for a state-owned undertaking was not as bad as people make it out to be.
“When I had joined service I was told that beyond part 1 and part 2 there is a part 3 in our banking exams,” says Kant. “That was dealing with unions and pleasing bosses to manage promotions and transfers. However, throughout my experience I have felt that these were all myths.”
