"I rebel against awards for the woman entrepreneur," said Ms Rajshree Pathy, Chairman and Managing Director, Rajshree Group of companies.
When the balance sheet does not provide for gender performance, why should there be an award for a woman entrepreneur.
She said there is no postscript in balance sheet which says the CEO is a woman and therefore eligible for a tax break or some other incentive. What matters is that you play the game and come out a winner, Ms Pathy said.
She was speaking at a function organised by the FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO) to honour her with the "Woman of the Year'' award. The previous recipient was Ms Priya Paul, President, Apeejay Surrendra Hotels.
Though born into an industrial family, Ms Pathy said, her father did not encourage her to enter into business.
He taught her to think for herself and to be courageous. She set up the sugar factory in Andipatti where there was no water and sugarcane cultivation.
The Rs 400-crore Rajshree Group has interests in food and agro, energy, real estate and travel.
