She oversaw the business from 1996 to 2004 before giving her daughter Meher Pudumjee full control in October.

On December 4, Thermax's market capitalization was Rs 30,408 crore. The company's share price on NSE was Rs 2700. After retiring from the company, she began working in social work. The Indian government also awarded her the Padma Shri.

As of December 4, 2023, Aga's real-time net worth is estimated by Forbes to be Rs 20,000 crore. According to Forbes' list of the richest Indians, she is the wealthiest woman working in engineering in India. Her majority ownership in Thermax is the source of her wealth.

In 1985, Aga began working at Thermax, which was then owned by her later husband. In 1996, following her husband's death, she assumed leadership. In 2012, she got the nomination for the Rajya Sabha. From St. Xavier's College in Mumbai, she received a B.A. in Economics.
