Worklife balance: Mum-of-two Ashni Biyani sets an example for working women

On stage, the conversation may have been all about how daughters are taking charge alongside sons to stake their claim to the family legacy. But the backroom talk centred around the best way to balance their responsibilities as bosses at work and as mothers at home.

Kishore Biyani’s daughter Ashni was seen chatting with Naina Lal Kidwai and Namita Thapar ahead of a panel discussion recently. Ashni, a mother to a three-year old, was heard talking about being a working mom with the other two.

“I want my daughter to see me work, and not just think that I’m going away. She sees her friends’ moms who are stay-at-home moms and feels why do I have to go,” Ashni said to her compatriots, who had similar stories to tell.
