<p>Nooyi was speaking about the need to reindustrialise the US economy at Fareed Zakaria's Sunday talk show on CNN.<br /><br />"I think the first step is to create a blueprint for the country...I don't know if in the history of our country, we have ever created a blueprint; 50 to 100-year blueprint. China has done it for China."<br /><br />"How do we create a multi generational blueprint focussed on reindustrializing the country? I think we have to do it and I think there are a lot of people who will contribute to that, " Nooyi said.<br /><br />According to the Pepsico Chief, the country's political establishment along with retired CEOs and C Suit executives can help author the blueprint for the country's future.<br /><br />"It has got to focus on energy efficiency, you know, reducing energy dependence, it's got to focus on many, many aspects of what makes a great economy," she said. Nooyi said that while developing such blue print could take two years, the government could implement short-term programmes to bring people back to work, which also required some creativity.<br /><br />"The medical system in the United States is among the best in the world, if not the best. What if we were to make the United States a medical destination? That would bring a lot of people here because there are a lot of sick people around the world," she said.<br /><br />"It will fill up our hospitals, increase the utilisation. It will build a whole industry around it... I think there are so many creative ideas, but we have to mobilize the right people and start work," Nooyi said.<br /><br />She said the time had come for Republican and Democrats to close their ranks and the (US) President to force these coalitions.<br /><br />"I don't know if you can do it with an election year coming up, but I think people can put their differences aside and worry about the country. I think they can do it," she said.</p>
