I pick up the details that drive the organization insane. But sweating the details is more important than anything else.

I read every country's perspective on an issue. I also play many games like Bridge, Scrabble and Sudoku online.

What I would not do is flaunt my Indianess by wearing a saree to work everyday, because it distracts from the job. So, I would not do that. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Social events are different. If I feel comfortable in a saree for a social event, I wear it.

I spent some time at a university for traditional Chinese medicine. There's a resurgence of people eating according to traditional Chinese medicine. So our challenge is, How do you marry traditional Chinese medicine with PepsiCo's products?

PepsiCo did not have a woman in the senior ranks, nor a foreign-born person who was willing to think differently.
