Nooyi was honoured with an award for being an “outstanding woman in business” from the League of Women Voters of Connecticut, US.

Former PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi has another feather in her cap. Last week saw the Indian-born honcho receive an award for being an “outstanding woman in business” from the League of Women Voters of Connecticut, US. The organisation, which was celebrating its 100th anniversary, awarded Nooyi — who lives in Greenwich, Connecticut — for her contributions to the business world.

Nooyi shared the news with a post on LinkedIn, also sharing her thoughts on women’s empowerment. “For the last century, the ‘League of Women Voters’ has empowered women throughout the US to take action in politics, from working to ratify the 19th Amendment to fighting for fair and protected elections today. Activism and political participation is an incredible way to have an impact on our society — particularly from those whose voices have been historically silenced,” she wrote.
