Companies the size of PepsiCo is like running a little republic, there is no question about it. The only difference is that I don’t have to worry about the media hounding me every day, on every word that I say. I have a board of directors that runs the country in the interest of the stake holders. Indra Nooyi Read Quote
By five or six, when the heels start to hurt, I kick off my shoes and walk bare feet. But that’s not a big deal.

Do you remember campaigns like ‘Keep America beautiful’? What about ‘Buckle up’? I believe we need an approach like this to attack obesity. Let’s be a good industry that does 100% of what it possibly can – not grudgingly, but willingly. Indra Nooyi Read Quote
When it comes to women, there has been a tendency to define women in sports in the context of their relationships – they watch games because their husbands watch. They’re interested because their kids play a sport. They buy tickets to a sporting event because it’s a way to spend time with family. Indra Nooyi Read Quote
When I grew up there was no web, blogging or tweeting. In fact, where I grew up there was not even television! I met a lot of my friends in school and in college, and they are still my friends today. Indra Nooyi Read Quote
