Hometown Girl makin it big!

“From the land of idly-sambar to land of dreams, Indra Nooyi has come a long way to prove herself…” (Read)
The new CEO of Pepsico, Indra Nooyi, is from my hometown Madras, India! An Indian Woman making it big.
This is great news for feminists (Nooyi will be the 11th woman running a Fortune 500 company) .
Nooyi is the new Carly Fiorina.
This is even bigger news for Indians in America (Nooyi is the highest -ranking Indian born woman in corporate America). A much needed boost to the ego of the massive Indian population unable to break into the highest rungs of Corp America. I have written earlier about the lackluster performance of Indian Americans in business. It is wonderful to see a Madrasi prove me (somewhat) wrong. Whether this is an exception the the rule or the beginning of a Desi revolution is yet to be seen. Nonetheless, it is great to see Indians making it big in $$$.
Brown is the new Green.
