She received a bachelor's degree from Madras Christian College in 1974, and immediately entered the PGDBA (Post-Graduate Diploma in Business Administration) program at the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta. After graduating from IIM-C in 1976, she worked in India for several years (including a stretch at Madura Coats). She was admitted to Yale School of Management in 1978 for a master's degree in Management. Following her master's degree from Yale in 1980, Nooyi started at The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), from where she moved on to strategy positions at Motorola and ABB.

I highly respect Indra Nooyi. But only thing I wonder is that is it really necessary for our IIM grads to go for a masters any where in the world? I am always under impression that a graduation from any of our IIM is a fool stop (except doctorate on any particular subject) and they are among the world best. Is a masters of any US university better then our IIM PGDMA (except Havard)? I do not think so. The only fashion in western world is that not to except indian expertise, including that of IITs and IIMs. Only our professionals must fight for recognition. And one of the way is our IIT and IIM professionals should not go for any other DEGREE, particularly north american. Believe me, still, the multinational world will accept them cheerfully. And it must be proud for all indians.
