Bidisha Rudra, Ph.D.
Executive Director, IDD Managed Care Sales
Essilor of America

Bidisha Rudra is the Executive Director, IDD Managed Care Sales and has been with Essilor for 12 years. She has enjoyed variety of roles including Market Research and Analytics, Business Development, and Corporate Strategy, with the latter two stints out of the Asia Pacific headquarter in Singapore. She also serves as the President of Essilor Womens’ Network since the beginning of 2018. She firmly believes that achieving gender diversity and inclusion in the workplace is not something that can be done by just a handful of employees—it is a collective effort. Bidisha earned a Ph.D in Applied Economics from University of Georgia, Athens. When she is not busy working on achieving sales targets with her customers, Bidisha spends her time running around after her twin young boys, Niseem and Nirvan, which is no less challenging! Some might also say she is social media-obsessed, but she will take that as a compliment.
