Summary Of The Book

Indra Nooyi is currently the Chairman and CEO of PepsiCo and has been ranked as one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in the world. But this exceptional personality was not born into a wealthy American business dynasty. She started out as just a simple girl from Madras, Tamil Nadu, and worked her way up from her humble background. This rise to fame has been closely followed by newspapers and business magazines.

Indra Nooyi: A Biography provides one of the most complete accounts of Nooyi’s rise to power and prominence. It covers the many phases of her life, including her childhood in Madras, her time in Madras Christian College and at the Indian Institute of Management in Calcutta, and finally her life at Yale School of Management. Every aspect of her life, from the people she met to the choices she made, has been highlighted in this book.

The hardships of her life shaped her personality and crafted her into who she is today. The biography also tells about her first few jobs, how she didn’t have a penny when she first landed in the U.S.A, and how she had to take various menial jobs to pay for her livelihood.

In addition to this, Nooyi has received numerous awards and honours including no less than five honorary doctorates from some of the finest universities in the world. She was ranked 6th on the list of Forbes Magazine’s 100 most powerful women in the world and topped Fortune magazine’s list of 50 most powerful women in the world. The author shows how Nooyi is still rooted to her humble beginnings and talks about the practices that she still follows in her life.
