Whenever corporate social responsibility expert Shalini Mahtani hands out her resume to the media, she always includes one of her prouder accomplishments - 'mother'.
She finds it interesting that of all the details they leave off when describing her, it is usually this one.
Ms Mahtani has never been able to fathom why, as if work and being a mother are entirely separate from each other.
So, for the record, Ms Mahtani is a mother of Zubin, 17 months, and is seven months pregnant with her second child.
She is also the founder and chief executive of the non-profit Community Business, which educates local companies on corporate social responsibility, a concept in many ways still at an early stage in Hong Kong.
Earlier this month, she was named one of 35 women of outstanding achievement under the age of 35 by World Business magazine.
