'Women are better with managing finance'

Better bankers

New Delhi: Chanda Deepak Kochhar, who set to take over as managing director and chief executive of ICICI Bank, India's largest in the private sector, firmly believes women make better bankers, even if a lot also depends on how they use the opportunities that come their way.

"So far as the financial sector is concerned, I feel women are always better with managing finance," says the 47-year-old banker who takes charge on Friday at the landmark ICICI Bank Towers in Bandra-Kurla Complex in suburban Mumbai.

"Sometimes women also make it an excuse for not doing certain tasks. But if you want equal opportunity you have to perform equally," Kochhar said in an interview with IANS here before leaving for Mumbai.
