Priyanka Chopra and Indra Nooyi

Priyanka Chopra: My mom, like ever since I was a kid, always told me, "You make the, you make mistakes, which all of us do. You might make wrong decisions, and you might be afraid to come and tell your parents, but courage of conviction is the only integrity that you need to have. Whether you make a mistake or not, whether you tell, you make good, bad, or ugly, it should all be yours."

Moira Forbes: I am so excited to be leading this conversation. Two women I admire, in many ways. And we also thought this couldn't be a more fitting way to close the summit.

Today's theme is all about leading the way forward, and these women have broken barriers. They've taken unconventional paths to success. They've built community in extraordinary ways, and across borders.

And many of you know who they are. They need no introduction. But just to put it in context in terms of the extraordinary power, influence, and success on stage, Indra Nooyi is a leader, who's at the helm of $150 billion company, leading PepsiCo'Whoo.

Yeah. Not a, not a small number. Nah. That's a lot of decimal points. And it's a lot of zeros, too.

Whoo. That's a lot of zeros. Leading a corporate family of over 260,000 employees around the world, and in her tenure, she's more than doubled the company's revenue while also aggressively diversifying, the company's product portfolio. Professionally, Priyanka, I would say it's also very difficult to sum up your job title in one line as well.

You're an actress, a Bollywood superstar, pop singer, star of the very popular show Quantico, a former Miss World, a movie producer, UNICEF goodwill ambassador, and activist. And you also have, Priyanka also has an extraordinary following of, close to or about probably 100 million people around the world who follow her across her social platforms.

So this gives you a sense of what influence and power looks like today, women who've defied limitations and who inspire others.

In our conversation as we close today, we'll hear about how their shared experiences have shaped their success, what are some of the common qualities that have united these career trajectories that are truly remarkable, and how they think about the impact that they have today, both professionally, but in terms of advancing the opportunities for future generations of leaders to emerge. So Indra and Priyanka, many thanks for joining me here today.

Thank you for having us. I wanna start off by, you know, going back to your childhood, which is something I did, with a speaker earlier today, because both of you have talked a lot about the influence of your parents, and your mothers in particular, on your career journeys in setting these formative values.
