Almost a decade ago, when PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi was asked a question about work-life balance, she said: 'Women cannot have it all'.

The comment received mixed reactions from women and men the world. 

While several working women could relate to what Nooyi had said, there are career experts who feel it is possible to strike a healthy balance.
