 Early life and career

Nooyi was born to a Tamil-speaking Brahmin family in Madras (now known as Chennai), Tamil
Nadu, India. She was educated at Holy Angels Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School.
She received bachelor's degrees in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics from Madras Christian
College of the University of Madras in 1974 and a Post Graduate Programme (MBA) from Indian

earned a master's degree in Public and Private Management.
While at Yale, she completed her summer internship with Booz Allen Hamilton. Graduating in
1980, Nooyi joined the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and then held strategy positions
at Motorola and Asea Brown Boveri.
 PepsiCo executive

Nooyi joined PepsiCo in 1994 and was named CFO in 2001. She was named President and CEO
in 2006, replacing Steven Reinemund. Nooyi has directed the company's global strategy for
more than a decade and led PepsiCo's restructuring, including the 1997 divestiture of Tricon,
now known as Yum! Brands. Nooyi also took the lead in the acquisition of Tropicana in 1998,
and the merger with Quaker Oats Company, which also brought Gatorade to Pepsi Co. In 2006
she became the fifth CEO in Pepsi Co's 44-year history. She was named as the 3rd Most

Powerful Women List of 15 September 2015, Nooyi ranked 2nd.
 Continued…

Nooyi's strategic redirection of PepsiCo has been largely successful. She reclassified PepsiCo’s
products into three categories: "fun for you" (such as potato chips and regular soda), "better for
you" (diet or low-fat versions of snacks and sodas), and "good for you" (items such as oatmeal).
Her initiative was backed up with ample funding. She moved corporate spending away from
junk foods and into the healthier alternatives, with the aim of improving the healthiness of
even the "fun" offerings. In 2015, Nooyi removed aspartame from Diet Pepsi, furthering the
shift towards healthier foods, despite lack of evidence of aspartame's harmful effects.
Nooyi has stated an intent to develop a line of snacks marketed specifically for women, feeling
that it is a hitherto unexplored category.
In a radio interview, Nooyi stated that PepsiCo is getting ready to launch products designed and
packaged according to women's preferences, and based on behavioural differences in the way
men and women consume snacks.

While CEO of PepsiCo in 2011,

Nooyi earned $17 million, which
