Indra Nooyi, a mother first, then a CEO
September 27, 2007
"The other day, my 14-year-old daughter, who lives in the same building, sent me an e-mail asking for an hour's appointment with me. The confusion (about the roles she is supposed to play) and the worries over whether I am doing justice, make me tear my head. You want to be a mother, at the same time you have to take care of your career also," she said.
Nooyi said a woman has to play many different roles like that of a wife and mother while all along keeping one's career intact. "And if you are an Indian daughter-in-law, there are added responsibilities," she said, alluding to the role as a cook and caretaker of the house that many women play everyday.
