If it is Indira Nooyi's rise to CEO of PEPSICO, she deserves the recognition she is getting now. But her speech is too optimistic when we look at the current world scenario. The world is not the same as it was in 2007. US is in deep trouble. Large Corporates are restructuring, cutting jobs and closing operations. Pity that she is at the helm of one of them. So is the much talked after CEO of Citi bank Mr. Vikram. They are all not that comfortable in that positions I can bet. The smart US Mgmt just handed over the baton to some Indian genius to see the fun. He knew US is in a big mess and their future is bleak. Now India will also see this slowdown. It takes less time to melt down this India shining story. The 'signs' are visible now. Or it will become clear in 2008 - 2010. Her speech has less relevance now.
