Indra Nooyi is remembered in business for decisions whose consequences outlived the decade that made them.
The record lists Indra Nooyi as Indian-American business executive and former CEO of PepsiCo (born 1955).
Indra Nooyi was born at Chennai in 1955. Her recorded nationality is India. She was educated at Holy Angels Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School and Madras Christian College.
Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.
She worked as businessperson.
Her recorded affiliations include PepsiCo, Johnson & Johnson and Booz Allen Hamilton.
What a company leaves behind is usually infrastructure, habit and employment rather than a name.
Recognition followed: Forbes list of The World's 100 Most Powerful Women (2008), honorary doctorate (2011) and Barnard Medal of Honor (2009).
That the business was built from India shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
