3.0
Indian born American business executive, Indra Nooyi (née Krishnamurthy), has written this memoir to chronicle major milestones in her life. The book is easy to read and feels engaging. Different readers will connect with different aspects of her life story. The story telling jumps from one success of hers to the next on the professional front, with some words on her feelings at those moments. The first part of the book does a good job of painting an informative picture of her upbringing and the author gives her candid views on the opportunities she had. The rest of the book is about how she threw herself into her work and let it consume her.
In this writing, the author has looked back at her life and connected various dots (i.e the successes) she cherishes. The book feels lacking in some regards and it is possible that the author held back on certain aspects of her life for understandable reasons, especially when it came to her family. The book leaves a conflicting image in the readers' minds as the tough choices she has made in her personal life are both inspiring and appalling in places, while her writing on societal issues and corporate life are amazingly lucid.
