In a panel discussion, Radhika Merchants sister, Anjali Merchant, talked about prioritising her work and her family.
Anjali Merchant garnered a lot of limelight during Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding festivities. Anjali, Radhika's elder sister, is a successful entrepreneur who has her own venture despite her family business of pharmaceuticals. The young businesswoman recently talked about legacy and how it has been a part of her existence since childhood.
In a panel discussion organised by Entrepreneur India, Anjali spoke about an incident from her childhood that made her understand the importance of work. Recalling the same, she stated:
“We were visiting my grandfather in Oman. He was unwell. That's where he lived. My parents actually flew back for a USFDA audit because of how important that audit was.”
In the same interaction, Anjali also spoke about balancing family and work simultaneously. Revealing that her priorities were set right from the time she entered the industry. In her words:
“I come from a family where relationships are paramount. At that time, it shocked me. How can you leave? How can you step away in such a situation? But it also gave me guidance to know what is a priority in this industry. That's not something that you can take lightly. Regulatory compliance, at least in our industry, is extremely important. When I entered the industry, I already had my priorities right. I already had that guidance and that support.”
