In this issue

As erstwhile CEO of PepsiCo, and in all her roles, past and present, Indra has been an unstoppable force – inspiring, charismatic, brilliant, intuitive. That’s also because those qualities, and the resulting compound, are inherently… Indra. We grabbed the chance to speak to her when we found out she was authoring a book. Serendipitously, she agreed, to both the interview, and to our cover. The resulting conversation unfurls on our pages this issue, as they do in her book, and we urge you to read both.

We won’t give too much away, because we don’t want to take away the joy of reading for yourself.
We hope October brings you peace and joy wherever you are. As we find our feet in the new normal, we find ourselves looking for the little things that make us happy and help us move forward. It is here that we’d like to help – whether it’s through food, understanding the self or navigating festival season safely. We hope you find a friend in us as you flip through our pages – someone you can rely on, who gives you good advice, cheers you up and on, and someone you can have a laugh with. Stay safe, be well.
