Abstract

This case is about Meghna Modi, the head of struggling cosmetics company Revlon India, as she tries to both turn the company around and implement her personal purpose at work. Influenced by her own life struggles, Modi feels compelled to empower her frontline employees, most of whom are women, to break free of the societal constraints they face and pursue their goals. But with Revlon India on the brink of bankruptcy, is the time right for Modi to prioritize her personal purpose?
