The 2009 Fortune Most Powerful Women list is out!
And this is proud moment for Indians.. =D> =D>
The list criteria, in case you're wondering, is four-fold: the size and importance of the woman's business in the global economy, the health and direction of the business, the arc of the woman's career, and social and cultural influence.

1. Indra Nooyi

Chairman and CEO
PepsiCo (PEP)
2009 rank: 1
Age: 54

In her fifth year atop our list, Nooyi completed the purchase of PepsiCo's two largest bottlers, bringing revenues to a projected $60 billion. Now she'll have to deliver the $400 million annual cost savings she promised. Investors seem assured: The stock is up 12% since September 2009.

2. Irene Rosenfeld

Chairman and CEO
Kraft Foods (KFT)
2009 rank: 2
Age: 57

Rosenfeld's battle for candy maker Cadbury rankled Kraft's largest shareholder, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, but analysts say the $19 billion purchase is sweet: It pushes Kraft to $48 billion in revenue and gives the food giant a bigger foothold in emerging markets like India.

3. Patricia Woertz

Chairman, president and CEO
Archer Daniels Midland (ADM)
2009 rank: 3
Age: 57

She built her career in big oil, but now oversees 240 plants that turn agricultural sources into food and chemicals. ADM is already the world's largest corn processor; now Woertz is focused on other fuel and energy sources. Investors clearly like the push: ADM stock has climbed 13% in the past 12 months.

4. Angela Braly

Chairman, President and CEO
WellPoint (WLP)
2009 rank: 4

5. Andrea Jung

Chairman and CEO
Avon Products (AVP)
2009 rank: 5
Age: 52

6. Oprah Winfrey

Chairman
Harpo and OWN
2009 rank: 6
Age: 56
