I grew up with Femina. To me, in those days, it was an aspirational magazine, and I can see you have maintained the quality, so I'm just thrilled to be in it.” These were the opening lines, from Indra Nooyi, as the interview accompanying her cover began. A pause to deliberate. The achievements of this global icon and personal hero to many might take a while to assemble, but a few highlights off a very long index. This is the erstwhile CEO of PepsiCo - her tenure was an exceptional one. She's currently on the board of Amazon, the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Philips. An independent director of the ICC and a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. A fixture on the World's Most Powerful lists, the recipient of innumerable accolades, honorary degrees and awards - including the Padma Bhushan - she now adds author to the roster, with her thoroughly-engaging memoir, My Life in Full: Work, Family, And Our Future. It is an indisputable fact that Indra is a visionary leader. Her introductory statement, however, reinforces a quality distinct to her - genuine power that is complemented by grace and humility.
