My Life in Full : Work , Family and Our Future
Indra Nooyi
The first and only female CEO of PepsiCo , and the first woman , person of colour , and immigrant to run a Fortune 50 company , Indra Nooyi smashed corporate America ’ s glass ceiling and redefined what it means to be an exceptional leader . She transformed PepsiCo during her 12-year tenure , growing the firm ’ s revenues by 80 % and reshaping its D & I agenda .
In this intimate and powerful memoir , Nooyi shares the events that shaped her life , from her childhood in India to her rise as a consultant and shared role as a leading executive and mother and reveals how she steered PepsiCo toward healthier products and a reinvented purpose . She recounts how she navigated a space conventionally dominated by men and shares her experience of balancing work and family life , ultimately making an actionable and urgent call for business and government to prioritise the care ecosystem to help women rise and economies to thrive .
As Hillary Rodham Clinton puts it , this book is a “ must-read for working women and the men who work with us , love us and support us ”.

“ I believe job flexibility and remote work for everyone who needs it should be entirely routine . This will give families the chance to take care of home life obligations during the workday without feeling loaded with emotional consequences ”
