The anti-immigrants have to hate this immigrant success story. IIM, Calcutta and Yale University alumni Indra Nooyi is the first Indian-born CEO of PepsiCo. She is also only the 11th woman CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Congratulations to her! This has to be a wonderful Independence Day gift to her family and friends.After spending her first 23 years in India and attaining an MBA from IIM Calcutta, she came to the U.S. on student visa to study at Yale University. She studied hard and worked nights to make ends meet. Twenty seven years later she is the CEO of PepsiCo, not only one of the biggest Fortune 500 company but also an icon of the Great American Dream. While at PepsiCo, Nooyi has played a vital role in starting Tricon . She also took the lead in the acquisition of Tropicana in 1998.
Where are the anti-immigrants now? If they had their way this woman would never have been in the U.S. in the first place.
