Indra Nooyi: 'It's got to be a passion, it's gotta be your calling'

As the CEO of PepsiCo, Indra Nooyi has more than a few things on her mind. The company's products are sold in more than 200 countries and territories around the globe--and the business pressure is intense.

During a wide ranging discussing earlier this year, Nooyi talked about her mission as PepsiCo's leader, the mantle she carries as a role model, and the relentlessness of Wall Street's financial demands.

Here is a conversation with her, edited and condensed.
