Indra Nooyi: Truths from the Top

At the 2019 Women in the World Summit, Indra Nooyi, former chairman and CEO of PepsiCo, speaks with Margaret Brennan, CBS News senior foreign affairs correspondent and moderator of "Face the Nation," about the lessons she gained during her time as one of the world's most successful female CEOs.

[@alfredselva]

There is something so normal and relatable about her. Even though she is highly intellectual she has a way of communicating in such a simple, plain manner which is really admirable.

[@DAcutech]

I couldn't agree more with you. She is so modest and grounded.

[@zzzadu9927]

Confident woman. Knows who she is ...competent enough......."do they have a choice 😀😀": good sense of humor n family oriented person as well. Good definition of a female leader. Well done Indra Nooyi

[@ritamendoza2621]

You are making a difference. Just listening to you is a breath of fresh air. Thank you Indra!

[@christinareji26]

She's so focused and smart!

[@deartherapist2725]

What an amazing, intelligent and down to earth lady!! I really like the fact that she isnt sitting there and giving the full credit to herself- the gratitude she has for her husband her boss and network around her is something rare. Many people who have climbed corporate ladder makes it all about themselves. It was an absolute pleasure listening to her❤

[@positiveMindset665]

You spoke my mind!

[@cameroonbeauty4ever]

Amazing, humble, intelligent, hard-working, mother, wife... it's so refreshing to hear a powerful woman's perspective on relevant issues. She not only talked about her performance at work, but also mentioned her soft spots (husband, family, etc). This is inspirational for women who want to make a difference in the world. Thank you for posing this!

[@lk78]

We need more CEOs like Indra N specially when it comes to understanding childcare - unfortunately the country I live in - Ireland childcare is massive so much so that many women opt to stay at home as it’s not worth while working and giving all their earnings to a daycare facility or a child minder .... one needs to be on a really decent salary to justify working while having had more than one child... also moving up the corporate ladder another big issue in this country for women....

[@thomasthomasphilp4393]

A woman and a person of colour. It must have been difficult for her. Its still impossible in Europe to climb up at your work place

[@sharathvasudev]

She is from Tamil Nadu a southern state in India. It's a extremely conservative state. Same place sunder pichai is from. It's a miracle she ended up there. Woman have different roles here than men. This woman is something, and women in West think they are suppressed. Send them here She is part of school curriculum now.

[@sharathvasudev]

@Prashant Patil True

[@ritvik989]

I tell you one thing, in USA people climb on basis of talent but in europe racism still deep-skinned. People give you blunt racism and people will give you subtle racism. and as we know usa has racism because it is reported but in europe people dont even think it is wrong. Do you remember any people of color or brown in top Europe's company

[@sreeramakrishnan]

@Prashant PatilEXCUSE ME? Less divorce means STABLE PARENTS? Are you really from India? How many parents you know hold their hands once in a while? Yes she is an exception coming from India, that is her Label. Don't you get it? If she is exception, what are the rest of the women's condition? AND WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO JUDGE DATING/FEMINISM ETC?

[@sudesnachakravarty2428]

In US, talent is respected! US is multicultural and makes possible for people from all over the world to make a mark if one has talent and potential unlike Europe where racism & gender inequality is deep rooted

Great comment by the interviewer on the fact that after having a baby, she wanted to talk about that aspect and how it does affect work. As a career woman I feel life has changed so much after having a baby, work wise. Male oriented workspaces hardly understand this and fail to even recognize the shift women are going through.

[@rockonbroz]

i like how indra nooyi is just being asked questions about her motherhood and her husband in-case it's not clear that's sarcasm

[@IndrajaSalunkhe]

I understand your point of view. I think these questions are asked to know how women are badass in everything they do. The context is also important. The WITW is for a reason. These questions encourage women not give up their careers for the sake of anything else. Motherhood is a part of her life not the only part. So.... :)

[@567ohyeah]

Seriously. Although the questions are well intended, a man will never be asked that

[@lidyakartika1559]

Bless your heart! I literally think about this!!!

[@gopalrajkumar7323]

Thats the point. The whole point. There are those amongst the "sisterhood" there who don't get it.

[@jyotsnas606]

When you read Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg, you will realise how people in general concentrate on a woman's personal life and ask working women to quit/work part-time,etc. Now asking questions about motherhood/husband is a strict no-no when you are in a general conference where men are also present and you are discussing about the successes of the company/person, etc. But in this conference which is literally called Women In The World, most of the audience constitutes of working women who look upto their role models on-stage. A part of the reason why they are there is because they want learn to have a work-family balance too. The points she relays regarding her personal life is so impactful - boils down to 'marriage is a major career decision' and 'have good bosses who will support you or just quit the job if they do not because you are an asset'. So what makes you think it is not appropriate to ask questions about motherhood and her husband?

[@runjisfoodmasti]

Hi Indra Nooyi I like ur videos they are very audience friendly, communicated in very simple language. And none of your videos atleast which I have watched u 're not explaining the profits/revenue with ppt slides. They are helpful to individual in many ways. And yes everyone is deserving , everyone has his or her share of adversities, tradeoffs , risk appetite , support systems in their own manner, and so on. But in country like USA where pink slip / hire and fire works however competent u being high cost employees the company's ask to go take example of Steve Jobs the Apple Inc run without him for 10 yrs there may be many more but might nit got recognition or might be still struggling. The point is dont you think u 're fortunate of course u were deserving that u are lucky enough to be with one company for n number of years and climbing the ladders.. I hope u are getting what I want to convey. Anyway I liked u said thanks that I am with same husband and giving him the credit also. Ba bye.

[@sillybala1165]

Thanks for posting this but after listening I found that she spoke allot about the benefits that were afforded to her as a woman in the workplace, but actually never heard about what she did at Pepsico to afford other women the same opportunities. Talk is easy, but putting your own neck on the line to effect change at work is a completely different ball game. Most women cannot afford statements like ''if they wanted me...that's what came with it''! Grateful if you could get women on here that have actually undertaken activities to support and promote diversity and inclusion at work.
