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.”
