New York, Former PepsiCo Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi said she "would never have been" a chief executive of a global company in any other country, including India, asserting that the US' "meritocratic" system made her rise possible.
"I say this to my daughters all the time. I say to them, 'You have no idea how lucky you are to be born in the greatest country in the world', and they look at me and say, 'Tell us how it's the greatest'," Nooyi said during a conversation with former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who is also the Tad and Dianne Taube Director of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, on Wednesday.
