I never had heard of her. Until just by accident I saw a mention of her name today. She is the second woman, after Judit Polgar, to reach a rating of 2600.
Also, because she dared complain that at an event she attended, she hadn't been properly informed of the time controls in effect, the chess federation in India requested FIDE consider disclipinary proceedings against her; this controversy apparently got some notice in the press in India, but even that wasn't enough to make her a blip on the radar over here.
