Forbes Top 20 powerful (????????????) women

Today I bumped into forbes list of powerful women. lets see how far it can be accepted. It was claimed that their rankings are a combination of two scores: visibility -- by press mentions -- and the size of the organisation or country these women lead...

Indian women Ms. Kochar, Ms. Sonia and Ms. Nooyi feature in that list.. Ms. Nooyi is ranked far ahead of Ms. Sonia Gandhi. And then people like Hillary, Nancy Pelosi are ranked far below.

The visibility of a sovereign democratic republic India is far greater than that of Pepsi or Icici.. Still I don't understand the funda behind Forbes' rationale.

The size of the country too is enormous, being the 2nd most populous. Organisations like Pepsi or ICICI can never even dream of having 1 crore workers atleast..

Once I started thinking, For a moment, I was shocked... Are these lists believable / reliable ...........
Now its left to your individual judgement..............
