Indra Nooyi

I had two or three skills, talents, I don't know what you want to call it, or curses.

I didn't sleep much.

So, you know, you can either say that was, wow, you're lucky, or man, I wish I could sleep.

I had a pretty good memory.

I could read anything and it'll stick in my brain.

And I was a speed reader.

All three helped.

I had a support structure between family and then later on I could afford to hire help.

I had a support structure.

So to put food on the table, the food was prepared.

And then the most important thing is I had a supportive spouse.

The role that my husband played in this whole was just fantastic.

And if I wasn't there, he made sure the kids were taken care of because he was working full time too.

And I did the same when he was traveling.

And so I think the two of us worked as a team.

We had support from family a little bit, but mostly the help around us were like family.

And the weekends we had no help.

It was just us.

But then we said, look, the weekends we were just devoted completely to family.

I never went into the office on the weekends most of the time, but I worked from home because there's just lots to read.
