Hello
Nooyi, who became the ICC's first independent woman director in 2018, has completed her full term.
When asked why women fail to reach the top echelons of management, Indra Nooyi said that the only way up was to prove your mettle.
When Nooyi took over as CEO of PepsiCo, one of her pivotal - and controversial -- ideas was to steer the company toward healthier products, reinvent its environmental profile.
Nooyi, 64, was on Sunday inducted into the prestigious National Portrait Gallery along with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Frances Arnold, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Earth, Wind and Fire.
Earlier this month, the company named Starbucks Corp's chief operating officer Rosalind Brewer as a director, the second black woman to serve on its board.
Nominating Nooyi, an immigrant woman from a developing country, could head off the mounting challenges to the US role in determining the Bank's presidency.
Nooyi stepped down as PepsiCo's chief last August after leading the company for 12 years.
She said she has followed the advise of leaving the crown in the garage and that has helped her be a good mother, wife and daughter.
As Nooyi steps down, Onmanorama takes a look at her time in PepsiCo and presents a visual report on the declining number of women at the helm of corporate giants.
