Looking back, I think I lucked out: Indra Nooyi

Indra Nooyi, the former head of PepsiCo, is an iconic businesswoman. In her candid memoir, 'My Life in Full: Work, Family, and Our Future', she speaks at length about her journey from the south Indian city of Chennai to the United States—a journey that led her eventually to head one of the world's largest multinational companies. She points out how when growing up the opportunities afforded to women were few and far between, and yet what made the difference for her was the fact that she had the support of her progressive family, which enabled her to scale new heights.
