Visiting my fam in India and watching this with my dad :)

[@Shobhzs]

I loved the fact that Indra Nooyi was provided time off to take care of her ailing father which she did - but she cancelled her leave and joined back early after her dad passed away! Her human element really called out to me - how many CEOs can claim to have done they?

[@vrishalisonar453]

Guys let Indra speak , she is the guest. !!

[@surajjain7119]

Amazing every time I listen to Indra I feel even more impressed with how good she is. You two did an amazing job of asking great question thanks. Can you get Dhoni on the show please. Cheers

[@SivaprakashN]

This is an organically amazing piece. Every word uttered by Mrs.Indra Nooyi after 1:00:00 is a gem.

[@casudhakarsingh]

Thanks Aarthi & Sriram for this wonderful conversation with corporate magnate like Indra Nooyi. I portray her image parallel to my grandparents & parents because the way she taught us how to respect our elder people & create an ecosystem for their well being with move on succesful ladder day by day in corporate life & works like a transformer. She is best among my icons apart from my grandarents & parents.

[@mbalaji0000]

Thank you Indra Mam, Aarthi and Sriram 🙏

[@prakashtiwari8003]

Thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this podcast. Indira ma'am is certainly the biggest inspiration for many Indians. 🙏

[@AarthiAndSriram]

Thank you!

[@Shobhzs]

Arthi and Sriram - thanks for the great great content in this show! I truly wish I had such mentors and podcasts when I was in my teens! This show’s content by Indra Nooyi was so relatable! I am from a conservative family in madras probably 12 years earlier than both of you and the past as you and her mention was so so relatable! I serve as a board member at a women in tech non profit and we brought in Indra Nooyi for the keynote and we loved it!

[@AarthiAndSriram]

Wow this was so kind of you! And we know exactly what you mean!

[@parthasarathy3858]

Great practical tips from Indira, what a leader! Awesome Interview Aarthi & Sriram!

[@sriramnatarajan4374]

Simply Brilliant !! Pleasure listening to Ms Indra Nooyi; so much to learn from her through this episode. Thank you Aarthi and Sriram for bringing this to us and for keeping the conversations so fun and pleasant. Ms Indra looked so much at ease and kudos to you for making your guest feel so warm. Honor to listen to Ms Indra. You’re an inspiration.

One of the best interviews -so much wisdom from Indraji. Indra Nooyi is AMAZING!

[@eshaismail2882]

best interview excellent discussion.

[@habeebkhan6884]

Wow!! Just loved all the questions that you guys asked and of course the end monologue by arthi praising the guest. It’s just fantastic podcasting skillls that you guys have developed. So engaging podcast, I love when podcasters bring the guest on a start line and sort of push them to run in any direction of their choice with the question. This is a true podcasting skill. I hope you are able to this with other non-south asian guests as well

Laughed when Indra was about to say Bhagavan instead of God. This session was a delight to watch. Could listen to her talk on leadership for hours!

Omg, this is such a fantastic episode! Loved the question about giving 100% at work and balancing that with family/kids. All the questions were well crafted throughout the interview. Close to real-life; answers that viewers can learn from and identify areas of improvement. Thank you so much for doing this podcast.

[@sathyabalakrishnan]

People from Madurai too..mam, can u give an interview for our channel, sathya nambirajan..

[@AadhiraiSathyavathi]

Economically independent, Financially rich, Decent jobs that respect Female Workers at their Workplace/Educational Institutions/Professional Environment, However, within the closed walls of their Households, there are Thousands of Women, who have been slapped atleast once &/ continues till present date & time, by their Spouse/Life Partner(predominantly Male), some of these reported cases came to my direct purview, eyes, and ears, not just in South India and PAN India, but throughout the world, and a few men facing domestic violence from their Spouse/Life Partner, and also mostly from their In-Laws.

[@aadithya1996]

Frank Slootman for the podcast please, another phenom immigrant story.

[@LostMonk679]

9:30

[@dheemz]

Selling Aerated drinks , soda , chips is a shame !! Shame on companies like Pepsi

[@riscnx]

If economic independence thing was true, then why so many house maids face domestic abuse from their drunk husbands, despite when their husband being the dependent one???

[@somebodycommented]

Well, she's inspiration to many so for me. But, I'm disappointed how she keeps repeating that Communication is the key. Yes, I agree Communication is important. But more than Communication what matters most is domain expertise. A non- technical boss boast about their Communication. A technical boss don't give a damn about Communication rather prefer person with good domain expertise. I don't like it when people put Communication before product knowledge. This is what they say talk less work more.

[@Bruhh2002]

I think she’s just saying what helped her out. It’s important to refine your language and the way you speak to succeed. There are other ways as well but this might be something which helped her out more.

Thank you. I have been reading her book now.
