Nooyi was born in Madras, India, in 1955, and as she grew up, she was a bit of a rule breaker in her traditional, middle-class society. She joined an all-girls cricket team during a time in India when it was considered impolite for young ladies to assert themselves. While attending Madras Christian College, she even played guitar in an all-female rock band. PepsiCo's president and chief financial officer is Indra K. Nooyi. The multinational powerhouse that Nooyi leads is best known for its Pepsi soft drinks, but it is also one of the world's largest snack-food firms.
