Subramanian has studied Computer Science and has a Master’s degree in Engineering Management from University of Kansas, USA.

She was the first female employee to make it to TCS’ board of directors. She joined the company in 1989 and has since worked on various local projects. One of the projects she was in charge of was the Passport Seva Project which digitised the passport issuing process and was TCS’ first citizen-centric programme in India. 

Subramanian is also a fitness freak, and makes it a point to walk at least 6 km a day. She loves movies and watches at least one Bollywood film every weekend.

She will continue to serve on TCS' board as a non-executive director.
