Increasing TAFE's stake in the $7 billion AGCO Corporation was one of Srinivasan's top achievements of the year. The investment made TAFE the largest single stakeholder in the American agricultural equipment maker. TAFE, India's largest tractor exporter, launched 107 products and variants last year, and sold 135,000 tractors. The Tamil Nadu government nominated Srinivasan to an agricultural panel at the state's global investors' meet. However, TAFE's market share dipped from 25% last year to 24%. Srinivasan is well-equipped to handle the slowdown. Her mantra for business and life: "Winning is an attitude."
