INDIA CALLING:INDRA NOOYI

Esteemed Mrs. Indra Nooyi,

Greetings for a Happy and event filled New Year 2012 for you personally, professionally and for your immediate family. I take this opportunity to draw your attention to “the Idea of India being a Developed Nation by 2021”. My argument is how long we could let Indian students brutally bruised in Australia, Indian dignitaries humiliated in USA airports, Indian fishermen fired upon in Indian territorial waters off Tamil Nadu and Indian candidate defeated in the race for UNSG? I think time has come when ordinary Indians should need to think of doing something to complement the efforts of our Govt..

Mrs. Nooyi a few gifted people like you must now think of returning to the country and contribute your expertise in shaping the destiny of India in this decade and beyond. China has grown its GDP 10 times between 1998 and2006, in about three decades; given a chance India could do still better in a decade or two knowing Indian ingenuity. Mrs. Nooyi you have already achieved a lot already; what more can you possibly achieve in current position compared to making your country/motherland a more competitive and possibly developed Nation. I agree, this proposition could look like a blank slate; but, I have a start point and finishing line in mind. Please read on.

Mrs. Nooyi, you could organize a few more gifted individual like Rajat Gupta, Vikram Pandit and L.N. Mittal to start a consulting organization in India possibly like a Mickensey or BCG to engage with State and Central Govt. of India to make them more efficient which will in turn make India as a country competitive in global market place.
Consult Public Sector in India to be prudent and profitable.
Strategize with Private Sector to dominate South Asia (10-20 companies), consolidate in Asia (10-15 companies) and Global foot print of 5-10 leading Indian conglomerates.
At least we should have a Walmart/Microsoft/Google/Pepsico/Nokia/GE among Indian companies in 10-20 years time.
Engagements to find solution for the challenges in Energy, Water and Urbanization in India.
Finishing line could be jumping into public life from Chennai/New Delhi/Mumbai or near your alma mater now Kolkata.

Mrs. Nooyi, here is a need for you a take a hard look at your career and an alternative in adding to the Indian growth story-a very big canvas to paint colors with your experience and expertise while making your mother and mother land proud. May be, the script would eventually turn out to be entirely different and not that rosy but I am sure you would make all those challenges worth the life & living in India.

Thanking you a lot.
Warm Regards,
