Publisher's Summary
The much-anticipated and inspiring memoir by Indra Nooyi, the trailblazing former CEO of PepsiCo, offering clear-eyed insight and a call to action for how our society can really blend work and family - and advance women - in the 21st century.
For more than a dozen years as one of the world's most admired CEOs, Indra Nooyi redefined what it means to be an exceptional leader. The first woman, person of colour and immigrant to run a Fortune 50 company - and one of the foremost strategic thinkers of our time - Nooyi transformed PepsiCo with a unique vision, a vigorous pursuit of excellence and a deep sense of purpose. Now, in a rich memoir brimming with grace, grit and good humour, My Life in Full offers a firsthand view of a legendary career and the sacrifices it so often demanded.
In her book, Nooyi shares the events that shaped her - from her childhood in 1960s India, to the Yale School of Management, to her rise as a consultant and corporate strategist who soon ascended into the most senior executive ranks. The book offers an intimate look inside PepsiCo, detailing how she steered the iconic American company toward healthier products and reinvented its environmental profile without curbing financial performance - despite resistance at every turn.
At the same time, Nooyi built a home with her husband - also a high-powered executive - two daughters and members of her extended family. My Life in Full includes her unvarnished take on the competing pressures on her attention and time, and what she learned along the way. This book, as has her personal journey, will inspire young women everywhere to believe that they, too, can climb to powerful roles without giving up on the desire for a family and children. But, as Nooyi eloquently argues, her story is not a call for women to simply try harder, but is proof of the importance of organised care structures in all of our success. Nooyi makes a clear, actionable, urgent call for business and government to prioritise the care ecosystem, from skilled care networks to zoning policy, to paid leave and flexible and predictable work hours, each so critical to unleashing the economy's full potential and helping families thrive.
Generous, authoritative and grounded in lived experience, My Life in Full is both the story of an extraordinary leader's life and a moving tribute to the relationships that created it.

A captivating story from start to finish
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was read so well like Indra was talking to me. It gave me a glimpse into the cutthroat and high performing world of corporate America.

Women are capable of doing anything
The value of being an immigrant of colour and in the men’s world are possible if we have the right support and strength to achieve the targets expected from our point of view! Well done Indra!

Indra Nooyi …. my lifetime idol
Indra Nooyi has been someone I have followed all my life and wanting to be like her. Following her all this time I always felt she was a different cutout above all …by intellect… that she is but listening to her story in her own words told by her was a surreal experience of knowing she is an ordinary human being with ordinary challenges likes us but who had extraordinary responses and actions to those challenges. Makes me believe I can achieve something. And makes me want to meet her in person so desperately… ❤️

Vanilla and insipid
I have looked up to Indra as an Indian woman who made it in the corporate world. This book reads like a corporate report. It has no real examples of the effort or struggles that an immigrant woman faces to
Make it in the world of work. Either Indra led a charmed existence or she glossed over the struggles. Either way she lost a follower.
