Indra Nooyi, a mother first, then a CEO
September 27, 2007
The India-born CEO and Chairman of Pepsico, who is the first woman to have reached the top at the multinational, said she hoped that "the next CEO will be mentored by me". Her own mentor, she said, was her mother.
Earlier, Nooyi said multinationals were creating the atmosphere for women to work, but this has to trickle down to
maintain growth and development. "Women entering the workforce is imperative (for growth)".
HSBC India CEO Naina Lal Kidwai, who also participated in the discussion, said the time has come for India "to embrace the message that women are out to conquer".
