Early life and education

Daughter of an officer in the Indian Army, Naveen was born on November 19, 1958.[2][3] As her father was an army man, the Sharma family travelled all over the country and Naveen attended seven schools in as many cities before finishing her schooling from Loreto Convent in Delhi.[4] She went on to do BA (Honours) in Economics from the Lady Shri Ram College for Women (LSR) in Delhi and MBA from IIM Ahmedabad. She also holds a post-graduate diploma in Software Technology from the National Centre for Software Technology in Mumbai.

According to a Business Standard report,[5] “Physics was her first choice for an undergraduate course but she settled for economics because the former was not offered by LSR. But she has no regrets as economics gave her enough opportunity to prove her formidable skills in maths — a subject very close to her heart.”

Naveen is married to Sanjaya Sharma, her batch-mate at IIM-A. Sanjaya is the ex- Chief Executive Officer of Tata Interactive Systems. The couple has two children, Tilak and Tvisha,[6] Naveen has two younger brothers who are cardiologists.
