Why America’s Tech Giants are hiring Indians as their CEOs

It’s no wonder that the top US companies love Indian-origin CEOs. From Microsoft, Google to Twitter, CEOs of some of the world’s most recognizable tech giants are Indian or share origins from India. Google’s CEO is Sundar Pichai, Microsoft’s CEO is Satya Nadella, Adobe’s CEO is Shantanu Narayen, IBM’s CEO is Arvind Krishna, and now Twitter CEO has been appointed Mr. Parag Agrawal.

Recently, Mr. Parag Agrawal took over as CEO for Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey who is the longest-serving chief executive in the company. Reacting to Parag Agrawal’s appointment as Twitter’s new CEO, Tesla chief Elon Musk has said that “USA benefits greatly from Indian talent!” . Elon Musk was replying to Stripe CEO Patrick Collison’s tweet, which stated that six US tech giants are now run by Indian-origin CEOs.
