Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
India-born CEOs
are taking the U.S. by storm
Another India-born
corporate leader in a high-tech corporation in America. Sundar Pichai, Google's
new CEO. He’s one of the growing Indian leaders in global-scale companies such
as Microsoft, Master Card, Pepsi and Adobe. But this isn’t limited only to
American businesses. Harvard Business School’s dean is also Indian origin. Even
a Japanese global company, Softbank, appointed an Indian ex-Google executive as
the successor to the founder CEO. What makes such a surge of India-born
leaders?
There seems to be
some common paths those leaders have taken. They studied in the top universities
in India in English, earned scholarship, continued their study in America and
got higher degrees.
Also, they seem to
be capable of adapting other cultures and practices to rise the corporate
ladder.
And don’t forget
the spelling bee champions. 15 of the 19 winners of the recent championships have
been Indian-Americans,
Enjoy reading and
learning about the surge of Indian leaders in business and academic world.
