I think these comparisons are  not very apt. That is not your fault, though. 
I put Chancellor Merkel and Sonia Gandhi together: they are both  
democratically elected leaders, now occupying powerful positions as politicians,  the 
latter, however,  voluntarily  relinquishing a part of herself. But not Condi 
Rice. Though Condi Rice is  powerful, she is only a nominee of President Bush. 
She would have to consult  White House at every toss and turn of world events. I 
concede that the office of  the Secretary of State in the USA is unique but 
then you cannot deny her derived  status. 
Indra Nooyi is a CEO of Pepsi and just that, a senior  employee of a 
particular organisation,  subject to official discipline and waiting for her pension. 
I suppose she is  answerable to a Vice-Chairman of the organisation.  
And Mittal owns the organisation; at least in his sphere he is  supreme.
