Padma Lal

Padma Lal is a multifaceted leader whose journey spans academia, entrepreneurship, and the nurturing of creative and cultural pursuits. As the Promoter and Managing Director of AMI Global Logistics since 1995, she has built a successful enterprise that blends efficiency, ethics, and excellence in the logistics industry.

Before venturing into business, Padma spent thirteen fulfilling years as a Professor at Sophia College, where she inspired young minds to think critically, lead with empathy, and pursue excellence with integrity. Her academic journey reflects a deep commitment to learning, holding an MSc from the Indian Statistical Institute and an MA and MPhil in Economics from the University of Mumbai.

With a curious mind and a compassionate heart, Padma’s world extends far beyond business. She is an avid reader, a lover of sports, and has a lifelong passion for art, classical music, and dance. Together with her husband, Dinesh Lal, she enjoys farming, horticulture, golf, and a shared fascination for vintage and classic cars — pursuits that mirror her appreciation for both tradition and timeless beauty.

Padma believes that empowering women is not merely about creating opportunities but about nurturing confidence and self-belief. Her association with the foundation stems from this conviction — to help women rebuild their lives with dignity, self-worth, and the promise of a better tomorrow.

"Every single mother embodies a story of resilience, dignity, and strength. They don’t just shape families, but the very fabric of our society — and when they thrive, our nation’s human capital truly flourishes."
