Doesn't managing a home's finances, nurturing the family's nutritional and
emotional needs and planning the workflow of everyday activities of different
family members count as management?
Every Mother Is a CEO answers these questions and more. In a breezy,
conversational style, the author Dhanjit Vadra-Managing Director, Allen &
Alvan Pvt. Ltd and CEO, Allen & Alvan Defence & Aerospace-recounts the
ways in which his mother Urmil Vadra worked tirelessly towards managing
a large household, raising a family and assisting his father build a hardware
manufacturing empire from scratch.

caregivers, supervisors of finances and inventory, educators and HR managers.
In fact, they are anchors of the whole family unit and the wheel that makes
everything run.
