Pai counters Nooyi's CEO claim, highlights India's history of female leadership
Mohandas Pai has challenged former PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi’s assertion that she could only reach the top spot in the US and not in India as an immigrant. Dismissing her remarks, Pai pointed out that while the US has yet to elect a female President, India appointed a woman Prime Minister many years ago. He advised people to disregard her statement, noting that her perspective was highly specific to her circumstances and should not discourage Indians.
