Indra Nooyi

March 6, 2009
Meet the Indian woman who beat Sonia Gandhi and a host of other influential ladies from around the world to bag third position on Forbes' Top 100 Most Powerful Women of 2008 list -- CEO of PepsiCo Indra Nooyi. This business-minded lady has been in the boss' chair since 2006 and has been in the news lately for her aggressive measures to help PepsiCo brave the economic downturn. She was awarded the Padma Bhushan by the Indian Government in 2007 and also serves on the board of organisations like Motorola, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the International Rescue Committee, among others. And oh yes, she's married and has two daughters as well.

Life lesson from Indra:

  • You'll reach the top if you have what it takes -- and make sure to keep climbing.
