After much struggle to break the glass ceiling, the number of women reaching positions of power and occupying the corner office has started seeing a rise in recent years.
Women of Indian origin are not behind in blazing their own trails and amassing fortunes.
Among those who have proved their mettle is Jayshree V Ullal, the president and CEO of Arista Networks, a computer networking firm.
Ullal has been heading Arista Networks since 2018 and is responsible for the company becoming a multibillion-dollar business through a historic and successful IPO in June 2014. She had joined the firm when it had no revenues and fewer than 50 employees.
She is also on the board of directors of Snowflake, a cloud computing company that went public in September 2020.
With her net worth reaching $2.1 billion in 2022, Forbes had named her one of America’s richest self-made women. Her current net worth is $1.7 billion, at the time of writing this article.
According to the magazine, Ullal owns about 5% of Arista's stock, “some of which is earmarked for her two children, niece and nephew."
She is the recipient of numerous awards, including E&Y’s “Entrepreneur of the Year" in 2015, Barron’s “World’s Best CEOs" in 2018 and one of Fortune’s “Top 20 Business persons" in 2019.
