Over the course of a career spanning more than two decades, she skilfully navigated the challenges of managing the central bank’s communication, including handling communication during some of the major crises, such as the Harshad Mehta scam, and reforms like the liberalization of the Indian economy in the 1990s. A Fly on the RBI Wall is a repository of anecdotes from Alpana’s time at the RBI a no-holds-barred account of her journey at the nation’s central bank. She doesn’t hesitate to call out her limitations or the institution’s, but also never forgets to give credit where it is due.

At another level, she gives a peek into the minds of the governors, all eminent scholars, under whom she worked. Students of communication can glean valuable lessons from Alpana’s narrative.
