Ok Abhijit, you say good bye and wash your hands off this Blog..but you bet, there is something special to this organization which made you write this emotional note. You miss Frito-Lay..don't you? In the meantime we’d like to continue reckoning and marveling at our rehires which reached no. 14 last month.

To start with let me announce that PepsiCo is named among world’s Top 20 Most Admired Companies in the World! PepsiCo has been recognized by Fortune and Business Week magazines recently as "Top 50 Performing Companies in the U.S.," as well as the list for Fortune's "World's Most Admired Companies."

PepsiCo made Fortune magazine's the list at #13 on their "World's Most Admired Companies." The magazine's survey asked businesspeople to vote for the companies that they admired most, from any industry.

PepsiCo was also #31 in the BW50, which represent BusinessWeek's picks as the top performers in each of the 10 sectors that make up the S&P 500. To select this year's winners, BusinessWeek ran the S&P 500 through a proprietary screen that ranks those companies within sectors by two key metrics: return on investment and sales growth over the past three years, and for financial-service firms, their returns on equity and growth in assets.
