The Business End Of Portraiture

with Indra Nooyi

Indra Nooyi no longer tries to blend in.

Indra Nooyi grew up in a conservative Brahmin household in India, but that didn’t stop her from playing cricket with her brother’s friends, or from joining an all-girl rock band. Later, when she ascended to the top job at PepsiCo, she was pushing boundaries again as one of just a handful of women running Fortune 500 companies.

Nooyi talks to Kim about why she initially shrank from the press when she arrived in the C-suite, and how she wanted to be seen in her own portrait as an American Portrait Gala honoree.
