Usha Mittal
Lakshmi Mittal, Chairman and CEO of ArcelorMittal, the world’s largest steel business, is no match for his wife Usha Mittal, who is a formidable competitor. Their relationship dates back to the age of 21, and Usha has even been entrusted with the task of operating ArcelorMittal when the company’s management team is absent.
She previously worked as a steel plant manager in Indonesia for 15 years. That’s impressive, but the Usha Mittal Institute of Technology is her crowning achievement in this field. The well-known institution in India is a strong advocate for women’s education and is a substantial contributor to the cause.
