Founder and CEO

Heart And Soul of Aspire For Her

Madhura DasGupta Sinha is the Founder & CEO of Aspire For Her, a unique start-up to motivate women to enter and stay in the workforce. Madhura has been a banker for the last 25 years – holding leadership positions in IDFC, Standard Chartered and ANZ Grindlays Bank, after an MBA from XLRI and Electrical Engineering from Jadavpur University. Madhura was one of the 12 women across India to be awarded the British Chevening Women in Management Scholarship in 2003.
Madhura saw a stark gap in India’s economy, with only 18% of India’s economic contribution coming from women.
Since its birth on Women’s Day, 2020, the rapidly-growing community at Aspire For Her has become a movement for women, in India and across the world, getting together members, supporters and mentors to unleash the trillion dollar potential in the Indian economy.
