Women are expected by society to take care of children and elderly parents in families. Being an entrepreneur is challenging, but it has been made much simpler by having a solid support system. Taking Many business owners launch their ventures in an attempt to address a personal issue. Though they make up half of the population, very few women are business owners. This implies that women have a great chance to identify issues that are unique to their gender and that call for major innovation or solving. We must urge women to consider the pain spots they encounter in their day-to-day lives by looking around them. Entrepreneurship to New Heights It is natural that the knowledge and perspectives of men and women will differ, influencing how they approach business. Men compete with each other, while women work together. Women cherish their relationships.

18. The Organisation Balanced Approach to Leadership The journey of Yashoda Super Speciality Hospitals began 33 years ago, following the unfortunate passing of Late Yashoda Ji, who was Upasana's mother-in-law and diagnosed with cancer. The family worked tirelessly to improve her health, but tragically, she passed away. During her illness, the family faced the challenge of having to travel to other cities like Mumbai for state- of-the-art treatment since there was no such healthcare center in Ghaziabad. Upasana believes that having a single leader with a well-defined philosophy that permeates throughout the organisation can create a unified and centralized approach to organizational management. This approach helps improve control and enhances the execution of work since there is clarity about the roles and responsibilities of different staff members, leading to smoother achievement of objectives. However, Upasana also values the importance of developing leaders within their respective domains to effectively manage and lead specific areas of the organization. This dual approach, combining centralized guidance and empowered domain leaders, contributes to a well- rounded and effective management structure. In response to this need, the family decided to establish a healthcare facility in Ghaziabad to ensure that people, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, wouldn't have to travel far for advanced medical care. They started with a secondary care hospital with 100 beds in 1990 and later expanded to 300 beds in 2000. Subsequently, a tertiary care hospital was established in 2006, followed by the opening of a quaternary care hospital in 2017. This journey reflects their commitment to providing accessible and advanced healthcare to the community. Yashoda Super Speciality Hospital's future plans include establishing new centers, such as a 1200-bedded hospital, Yashoda Medicity, in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad; a 300-bedded Yashoda Super Speciality Hospital in Greater Noida, and Yashoda Medicentre in Meerut, UP and Karkardooma, East Delhi, India. Additionally, the hospital group aims to set up offices focused on medical tourism in Europe, the Middle East, and the USA to provide quality healthcare at international standards to populations in these regions. Wisdom for Emerging Leaders Upasana's advice for someone entering a leadership position for the first time centers on self-belief and leading by example. She emphasizes the importance of believing in oneself and working diligently to accomplish goals. In her view, actions are more impactful than words and are a reflection of one's personality and leadership qualities. Upasana advises new leaders to lead by example, meaning that they should be willing to do the tasks and exhibit the behaviors they expect from their team members. This approach can inspire trust and respect among the team and foster a positive work environment. Commitment to Accessible Healthcare and Social Responsibility Upasana's vision is to provide quality healthcare to those who are often left at the end of the line, as well as to work selflessly for the betterment of society. To achieve this vision, she has undertaken various initiatives and projects. She has played a crucial role in implementing the Ayushman Bharat program, India's largest social insurance initiative, aimed at providing accessible healthcare to all. Her hospital has been actively involved in this initiative. She is working on the ambitious goal of TB elimination in her district by adopting 5100 TB patients as part of the Prime Minister's initiative, "Nikshya Mein Potion ka Nishchay." This contributes to the National TB Elimination program's target of eliminating TB in India by 2025. Upasana serves as the Chairperson of the Special Olympics Delhi Chapter. Through this role, she promotes the well-being 18 | January 2024

She is involved in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, including collaborating with Olympus to set up mobile vans equipped with endoscopic facilities in the remote and rural areas. These vans bring endoscopic services directly to people, making healthcare more accessible. She has adopted a girls' residential school and various NGOs working for the girl child. She provides free health check-ups to the students and supports their educational needs. Additionally, she has adopted the village of Masauta, in the periphery of Ghaziabad district, where she oversees healthcare requirements. Upasana contributes to healthcare in high-altitude areas of Uttarakhand by providing ambulances and medical equipment to the Swami Vivekanand Health Mission Society, ensuring that people in remote regions have access to medical services. Through her dedication and various initiatives, Upasana is actively working to make healthcare accessible and improve the well-being of marginalized communities in India. Ethical Patient-Centric Care Upasana's hospital provides a wide range of healthcare services covering various medical specialties and super specialties, along with comprehensive diagnostic and rehabilitative facilities, all available within a single healthcare facility. While their current focus in quaternary care involves kidney transplants, there are plans to expand and offer liver transplant facilities in the near future. Fortunestime.com | 19

Take a break every quarter and splash out on a 4- day weekend somewhere lush. Think massages, food, wine, and beaches.
