Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
What does it take to reach the top of the world? Grit, sweat, and oodles of determination. Precisely the story of Indra Nooyi.
The Chairwoman and CEO of PepsiCo, one of the world’s largest beverages companies, Indra was born in (then) Madras in a middle-class household, and raised by her mother to dream big in life. Thus, not stopping at a masters from IIM (Calcutta), Indra went to Yale, Connecticut to pursue higher studies. Even if that meant working in the wee hours of the night as a receptionist to pay her bills.
Indra worked with Johnson & Johnson (where she introduced ‘Stayfree’, the sanitary napkin), Motorola, and ABB, before joining PepsiCo. Her masterly vision and never-say-die approach have been responsible for PepsiCo’s phenomenal growth.
Today, Indra Nooyi ranks fourth among the most influential women in the world.
Why we find her inspiring?
– Because she engineers the destiny of the world’s second-largest beverage (and food) company
– Because she is a great believer in work-life balance and strives to provide the same to her employees
– Because she hasn’t traded her core self for corporate success
– Because she proves by example that the world is our oyster

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
