It's PepsiCo’s former CEO Indra Nooyi's birthday. Nooyi was born in Chennai in 1955. After completing her undergrad from Madras Christian College in 1974, Nooyi would go on to complete an MBA from IIM Calcutta in 1976, and receive a Master's degree in Public & Private Management from Yale.

I grew up with a mother who said, ‘I’ll arrange a marriage for you at 18,’ but she also said that we could achieve anything we put our minds to, and encouraged us to dream of becoming Prime Minister or President.
