Indra Nooyi's mantras for success
September 12, 2008
If we do our work well, then I dream that all those extraordinary Indians residing all over the world will find their next generation back at home, in the amazing, abundant, talented land of India.
Sometimes I think we (Indians) lack the zeal, the fire to renew ourselves and vigorously compete in the global arena.
With almost 25 million university graduates, India's scientists, engineers and academicians rank among the best in the world. These are wonderful assets. But the world will never know unless we shout if from rooftops loudly, clearly, frequently, in a captivating way.
To be successful in foreign countries, you got to walk a mile in the shoes of those people; while in Rome, do as the Romans do. You retain your Indianness, but you also have to adapt to what that country needs. If you remain too isolated, you will never be successful.
India's greatest advantage is its people, so we have to invest in them.
