Now, in a rich memoir brimming with grace, grit, and good humor, Nooyi offers a firsthand view of a legendary career and the sacrifices it so often demanded.

In MY LIFE IN FULL, 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.

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.
