New York, October 3
Chennai-born Indra Nooyi, who was recently appointed as CEO of global soft drink giant PepsiCo, has been named as the world's most powerful business woman by Fortune magazine, ahead of people like Oprah Winfrey and eBay chief Meg Whitman.
The latest feat follows a similar honour bestowed upon Nooyi by another business publication Forbes, which had also named her as the world's most powerful woman soon after she was named the new PepsiCo CEO.
Fortune, the business magazine of CNN-Time Warner Group, today said Nooyi had been named to the top spot on its ninth annual list of 50 most powerful women in business, which would appear in the latest issue of the magazine hitting news stands on October 9.
Padmasee Warrior, the Chief Technology Officer at US-based telecom giant Motorola and another woman of Indian origin, has also been named among the four "rising stars" in the same issue of Fortune.—
