The CEO Who Sings the Beatles But Can’t Impress Her Mum, Indra Nooyi on Her 'Life in Full'
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 вер 2021
- In a fascinating interview filled with delightful anecdotes of her childhood, her school days and her career, the former CEO and Chairperson of Pepsico has said for her mother she was never a high-flying CEO of one of America’s top companies but a mother, daughter and wife with duties to perform at home. On the day she became President of Pepsico in December 2000, Indra Nooyi returned home bursting to share her success with her family only to get the following response from her mother: “You may be the President or whatever of Pepsico, but when you come home, you are a wife and a mother and a daughter. Nobody can take your place. So you leave that crown in the garage.” Before she even got a chance to tell the family her good news, she was sent out by her mother to buy milk.
In a 45-minute interview with Karan Thapar for The Wire to mark the launch of her autobiography ‘My Life in Full’, Indra Nooyi has recounted a multitude of stories about the middle-class Hindu Brahmin family she was born into in Madras in 1955, her childhood, the school band she was part of, her early years working in Johnson & Johnson and selling sanitary pads, how she met and married Raj Nooyi, what made her join Pepsico, the early difficult years when she, in fact, resigned and, finally, what it was like to head one of America’s most important companies for 13 years. Indra Nooyi also talks about how her husband, Raj, often put her career ahead of his and how her daughters, Preetha and Tara, lost something of their mother as she climbed the corporate ladder to the very top. She said she has struggled to ensure that she is always a good wife and caring mother but working flat out, for whichever company she was employed by, was a part of her character which she could not change.

I am getting obsessed with Indra Nooyi! Finished reading the book and now watching each and every interview of her to know more about her. Such an inspiration. So proud of her achievements!! Respect and lots of love!
Me too! Obsessed
People like this woman show how to be a good servant, a good worker for a corporation. She's had some success, but Indians should now start becoming business owners, not just workers.
Lady, you are too good to be true - unbelievable. Devoured every piece of information. Always was your fan. This is not the end... May God keep you going and may you achieve even greater milestones as a retiree. Love you Indra Nooyi
I personally love it when interviewers wait and listen to what the guest has to say and complete. It makes them clearly state how what and why and that's why I enjoy every interviews karan has been a part of. 🙏
LQ
What a woman! She is so grounded and inspiring. She deserves all the success she has recieved.
I am a great fan and vivid follower Of Ms. Indra Nooyi. Of all the interviews with Ms. Nooyi on her biography that I saw I feel only Mr. Thappar has truly read the book page to page. The questions were insightful and helped the guest to bring out the deeper meaning of her book. Ms. Nooyi's responses were as usual to the point and inspiring. An extraordinary life explained in simple terms. So good of Mr. Thappar to acknowledge the co-author of the book at the end. THIS IS THE REAL REVIEW OF THE BOOK.
Dear Indra, you and Raj both made it together....truly blessed to have that partner.
She has a powerful voice. Very impressive lady.
Deep respect. What a life! And what a story!
Karan : You were remarkable. You have done excellent home work, knew what to ask, how to extract the correct messages. Indra: You are a role model, inspiring person. Every sentence you spoke shows your determination to succeed, your grit is exemplary. I loved this interview. Thank you both.
She is a very honest person. That shines through. She didn't dodge a single question. The most powerful Indian woman after Indira Gandhi. Wow. Wow Wow
Education in south India is supreme. I agree.
I read the book a few days ago and was very impressed! This interview is pretty good .... I started remembering all the wonderful interviews of Karan that I used to see in news channels 16-17 years ago (when they were just there to inform and not pass judgements)!
Nice interview!!! straight from the heart. The pain towards the end makes Indra Nooyi human. I finished the book in one sitting.
Dekho karan ji mujhe inglish jyada samjh nahi aati.. Lekin modi ka interview jo aapne liya tha me baar baar dekhta hu.. Maza Aa Gaya.. Kya questions th... Aaj apka dekh raha hu.. Bahot change ho gaye.. Good dear
God bless you
Haha
This interview demonstrates why Karan Thapar is among the top journalists ...
I am a big fan of you. For a change karan dint bully you. He gave you all the time to speak. And was very polite. All the best for you both.
Wonderful interview! Thank you
Loved this!
In the end your honesty inspired me....a lot!
I want to listen Punjabi from Karan Thapar sir!!!
One whole interview would be a dream wish. 🙂😉
Highly inspiring to all men and women aspiring to be leaders. Enjoyed every bit of it.
Beautiful interview
Great interview!👍
A delightful watch indeed
It was a great time to be Warm and fuzzy.
Thank you madam, it was very interesting and emotional interview
Indira Nooyi you are a living legend.
Wonderful and incredible..
A fantastic talk show. Thanks to Shree Karan. INDIRA Noyi is the real successful ceo
Great interview.
Becoming CEO and Chairman of a multinational company might be considered great achievement. But calling Mrs Indra Nooyi 2nd most successful Indian women after Mrs Indira Gandhi is not fair. She can be considered most successful Indian women in corporate world. There are thousands of Indian women who have contributed a lot in their respective field and profession i.e. science, research, politics, education, social service, art, music etc.
Rather an exaggeration I agree. Thapar gets carried away at times. Since our independence we have had at least a hundred women in so many fields who are world class. Lata Mangeshkar is one of them in arts. Medha Patkar as a social worker etc. And other luminaries in medicine and science.
@@sureshmurty6523 Yes, you are right.
Yes, l completely agree with you.
Y’all never miss the opportunity to undermine a woman. 🙄
Inspirational. Would like her to Mentor my Daughter but don't know if I can afford. Stay Blessed
Ppp
So inspirational,indira nooyee !✅👍✅✅✅👍
Fantastic 🙏
Really enjoyed the interview. One of the best Indra Nooyi interviews on UA-cam. Indra is such an inspiration. Enjoyed reading the book as well!
Madras education 8 years after independence must have been superb. With that foundation she thrived in the USA
Very interesting lady indeed. Have to say though that the only question she didn't ask was "Do I want to sell sugared water, or would I rather change the world?"
Sir Karan i love you.
I wish to be interviewed by you one day.
Wish she could be Prime Minister of India. Indians need her leadership
Wonderful interview . Enjoyed it immensely.
Never came across such a beautiful, informative, enriching interview before. MS Nooyi is a grounded down to earth personality,. It was a pleasure to listen to her speaking about her growing up years ,her grandparent's influences, her passion for reading, which together helped her shape her personality as also her tireless efforts and dedication which enabled her to reach the top position in her career. Huge respect and wishes to Karan sir and Ms Nooyi madam for this enthralling and enchanting interview. Thank you so much.
Great interview. Great role model for success. We are proud of Indira Nooyi.!
More success and power to her.!
Appears to be a very honest interview and an interview that also teaches you values of individual and family responsibilities.
Thanks
Such corporate leader inspire generations..
This is the only person who was so confident in front of karan thapar!!
Karan, this interview with Ms Nui is one of the best. You are amongst the few who could do this. She has proven her designation as a world class CEO. My regards to both of you.
That was indeed a remarkable interview , Hats off to Mr. Karan Thapar 👌👌
Normally books are always in my wish list. But don't buy so quickly. This one i bought instantly. Very interesting.
Sir 🙏🏼
She is pride of India 🇮🇳
Blessings to Ms. Nooyi and her good husband ,Namaste Hare Krishna
Very impressive lady!
Superb
Dr Tharror's tweet got me here and I am all the more glad for it.
An absolutely fascinating and engaging interview
best women to listen and read for working mothers.
Privilege having subscribed to The Wire for getting rare opportunity of watching so amusing and absorbing talks of two greats in their respective professions 🙏
Karan should have asked her if she felt guilty selling sugar water and increasing child obesity round the world
Pure journalism
very nice husky voice😍
Extraordinarily talented and genuine person! Your family should be very proud of you and your country too !!!
Hat off to you
The only reason i came here is because of Indra Nooyi. Even though i have stopped watching Karan Thapar (not Johar), Indra made it a nice pleasant conversation.
She is a very interesting person and lovely lady with 🎶 music taste. Her college life MCC like me, we feel proud being studied in Madras Christian college Madras
EXCELLENT INTERVIEW KARAN, YOU ARE SIMPLY GREAT !!!!
Good morning good news wire
Two great individuals interview n what a treat to hear. Karan Thapar always love your interviewing
Karan sir! at last the parents the grand parents the siblings/spouse as in the case of indira nuyi as well as of kamla harris remain the unending support helping hand and everlasting impression .In other words mothers especially in most of the cases reduce themselves to nil in order to lift her children to gain more of the circumstances. In her words also madam nuyi admitted that perhaps more time should have been given to daughters or must be given backstaging herself as parent It is the ultimate the sacrifices on the part of parents in one's shining.
The hands that rock the cradle rules the world. Mothers are unsung heroine behind any successful person than spouses.
@@monojdas-gupta5918 Sir!mothers have no substitute never and ever. In making ms nuyi her mother indeed is the prime source who build her gave her substance in order to continue the lagacy of mothers to remain invincible silent and most powerfull unrecognised faces.This is what the motherhood all about.
Indian youth have so many role models ..but they are running after politicians and celebrities
True… sometimes when I sway away like that I always watch her interviews… she gives hope and pointers on how to navigate real world… how middle class kids can still make it in this world.
But at the end of the day, it's THE INDIAN HUMILITY, that makes the US what it is,Ma'am.😊
Barack Obama, the ever elegant pres, w/o offence!!
Witty power woman .... Thanks karan!!
SIMPLY WONDERFUL : NO OTHER ADJECTIVES NEEDED ! THANKS KARAN.....
Sir, Karan Thapar. I am so very impressed with your interviews. Especially when you read books and do an interview. It goes beyond the cameras. And more meaningful for people to watch. I would like to request you sir to do an interview on the book City of Joy by Dominique Lapierre. It also a book by journalist like you. It is my humble request. I don't know whom you'll get to interview. But please do something for that book to get reached for Indians. Please sir.. Only you can do, the way it has to be.
It’s really amazing interview.👌
Very Beautiful Opinion, Madam Jee, I am Very Attrective Your Thoughts,.Shiv Kumar Dixit Advocate, Civil Court ETAWAH,
👏👏
One of the very best chat I came across recently. Already got the book and I am super excited to read 👍
Reminded me of Dr Abdul Kalam's words , value system , that a thathta, paatti, perippa, perimma, chiiththee, athai, aththimber.... Music.
Most interesting story of the most impressive personality.
Brought out in the usual fascinating style by Karan Thapar.
Eagerly looking forward to read the book.
Another chennaite on top of the world, awesome interview.
Amazed by her aura, want my students to follow her footsteps..
It's always a joy to listen to this woman! :)
good interview, amazing personality huge icon 🤩💯
Interesting question/statement to a woman........'Would i be right in saying you owe Raj a lot'.
I have not seen or heard anything how an ordinary person derived anything from Ms Indira Nooyi.
Traffic police affect the ordinary man more.
However all the best of luck to her !
Moms know the truth
This interview deserves a million views!
Interesting interview. Hat's off to both distinguished personality.
Bought your book. Plan to read. It's bamboo paper. Matrix Crew. Red Pill.
asking if she was the author of the book is a ridiculous question. Karan seems to be living 30 years ago....
Why not 5 days. Baki dosti bani rahe
Does Cadburys have a place for her on its BoD? She can taste all the flavours they make and suggest others
Not yet
अई ऐ आप का इंतजार है
Indra is just incredible but I am disappointed at Karan. She has done incredibly well and deserves the recognition and so does her family. But Karan’s focus on showcasing Raj over and over again felt a bit unnecessary and perhaps a pretty cheap shot at not giving Indra more credit for what she has done. Does he do the same when he would interview a male leader? If not - then enough said. Hats off Indra - you are adorable and inspiring - which is a rare combination of words to use for a leader.
Insights, belief, confidence, gratitude, humility & values is what I experienced. No show off, arrogance etc. God bless you and your family mam. Thanks for the book.
