Ms. Nooyi, who epitomizes the theme "Global Mindset, Indian Roots", felt that it was time for academia and research to come with more contemporary methods of 'predicting future behavior' of consumers by observation, by cultural focus and by ethnography rather than using the traditional methods of qualitative research.
