Indian expatriates heading corporate giants in the West

[Ahmad-GERMANFC]

Its the IIT on his resume that shines and qualifies him more than syracuse and ut - both pale and substandard for an IIT alumni.

Lol sure. If that was the case then he wouldn’t have to get 2 US degrees to remove the tag of being an Indian grad

Who's Running the World?*
Biden, Putin and Xi were arguing on Who's in charge of the world?
US, Russia or China?
Without any conclusion, they turned to "Narendra Modi", the Indian Prime Minister and asked him

1. Google CEO is an Indian.
2. Microsoft CEO is an Indian.
3. Adobe CEO is an Indian.
4. IBM CEO is an Indian
5. TWITTER CEO is an Indian
6. Net App CEO is an Indian.

Chinese immigration is not as much it used to , Majority Europeans are immigrants their children actually and they actually are founders of most of these companies, they do not have so much interest in being CEO than being founders.

How many of these companies are founded by Indian Americans and how many by European immigrants?

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

UT MBA and Syracuse masters.

Are any of the CEO pure Indian education products?

Most of these guys were directly hired on Campus due to being from IIT.
These days all the major US companies face fierce competition and these graduates have multiple offers between 100K-200k USD. But, IITians are different breed and they don't stop learning.
You ought to meet some of them to understand what I am talking about. I have 3-4 class mates and 6 cousins who are IITians.. top 200 Ranked. They are like learning machines. No wonder the cream of them becomes more successful in US tech scene, the most advanced and liberal place full of oppurtunities.

You obviously did not take the funny part light heartedly and took it literally.

Indian system has a HUGE role more than the Harvards/MIT education - ask that to all of the listed accomplishers (from Satya to Shantanu to Sundar). I have a similar background obviously not as accomplished though. I can say first hand that the Indian background has battle hardened and laid the foundation for me to succeed, compete and assimilate anywhere with humility.

It’s more of an achievement of meritocratic American system that doesn’t make kids of founders become CEOs.

Because in USA founders dilute a lot of stake, while in India, founders keep a large stake.

 

[Local.Dada]

In USA at least not just the % ownership but things like how many slots/ votes/seats you get on the management board etc play a huge part. Bill gates owns a very minor stake in Microsoft now but I don’t think big decisions are taken without his involvement.

There is a nuance between India (as the whole entity - diverse (from Ambani to street dwellers), 70 years old) and Indians. The appreciation as such cannot be mutually exclusive.

This thread is about acknowledgement and appreciation of the extra ordinary progress by a particular community in one of the most open, competitive and largest markets in cutting-edge industries.

I say this with conviction that the critics or the demeanors are just mentally blind, pessimists, sour grapes, self-loathers or generally hateful.

So you are talking about the cream of the crop from one of the biggest populations on earth. The best get cherry picked to go practice their skills abroad and are effectively no longer Indians any more than Irish Americans are Irish, or Black athletes in the UK are African.

This has happened in Pakistan since decades ago, I can remember there being much wringing of hands of the brain drain as it was called then. Indians would get more recognition if their country was an example of what their population can produce, like for example South Korea or Japan. Or Australia for that matter.

Again with the critical, selective and prejudiced yardsticks. India's large population should take away nothing from the achievers (Sundar, Satya etc.) or the contribution of the Indian system - like it or not. If ethnic population (native or abroad) were a yardstick, I should see more American companies headed by Chinese and Europeans than Indians. Not the case.

Clear case of Haters gonna hate.

Mistry has a 18 per cent stake.

Tata trusts with other Tata family members control close to 70 per cent.

Mistry wanted to maximize revenues and sell loss making units, Ratan Tata disagreed and they removed Mistry.

Never said that the Tata way is bad, just that like most Indian founders, they retain control of their companies.

You need to stop with the "haterz" rhetoric and learn to sift honest appraisal wherever it comes from. The world doesn't revolve around America, when I talk about South Korea, Japan and Australia, they have built nations, they don't need to brag about getting some top jobs in one country abroad. Lol at you attempting to brag that more American countries are headed by Indians than even Europeans. Have you ever been to Europe? It's where most of the ultimate leaders of the US were spawned.

That was expected. While Elon Musk was going through his mood swings about Twitter, these were the folks he was antagonized with on social media when barbs were flying back and forth.

Your jingoism hurt my brain. You are the last person in this forum to say "what are you on about". Chinese that migrate to other countries often start their own businesses, often times they are their own bosses. It could be simple as owning a grocery store, convenience store or etc. Look where China is and look where India is. China's 50th largest city cannot even come close to India's 1 cleanest city. Chinese also don't try to scam people, take government support while working under the table and don't look down on other people. Indians corrupt everything like mortgage system, do frauds, don't obey traffic laws and ruin industries. I live abroad, so I know how these thing work. Don't compare Chinese to Indians. The Chinese do much better and are far respected than Indians and this is coming from an Indian.

Your post is one of the dumbest posts I've read on PP. Indians are the richest diaspora in USA. They are well respected. Chinese face a lot of discrimination in the US and in the west in general. Their lives became worse after covid. Chinese scammers using cash apps are legendary. Heck, they even have Mafias based out of China towns in all major cities. China as a country took advantage of being the worlds factory but the life under constant surveillance and lack of freedom is hellish. Except for the east and parts of south, rest of China is underdeveloped and highly leveraged debt junk. Their real estate has collapsed and they are one of the most corrupt governments with no accountability.

Wells Fargo VP Shankar Mishra fired for ‘urinating on passenger’ on plane

Wells Fargo has terminated its vice president of operations in India after he allegedly urinated on a 72-year-old woman while they both flew business class aboard a recent Air India flight.

Shankar Mishra, who worked for Wells Fargo at its Mumbai corporate office, was identified as the executive who was terminated, according to the English-language news site of German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle.

Mishra was said to be drunk while aboard a Nov. 26 flight from New York to New Delhi.

During the flight, Mishra urinated on a 72-year-old woman who was seated next to him in business class, according to the report.

An attorney for Mishra told local media that the banking executive reached a financial settlement with the unidentified victim as compensation.

US president puts forward choice to oversee new focus on climate crisis after resignation of Trump appointee David Malpass

Biden said he wanted Banga to use his decades of experience on Wall Street to support private-sector lending to countries in the developing world.

“Ajay is uniquely equipped to lead the World Bank at this critical moment in history. He has spent more than three decades building and managing successful, global companies that create jobs and bring investment to developing economies, and guiding organisations through periods of fundamental change,” the president said.

“He has a proven track record managing people and systems, and partnering with global leaders around the world to deliver results,” he added.

On First Day At Work, New Starbucks CEO Faces Strikes Across 40 US Cities
The work stoppage comes one day before Starbucks's annual shareholder meeting, the first for new CEO Laxman Narasimhan, who officially took the reins from Howard Schultz this week.

Unionized Starbucks Corp. baristas plan to welcome their new chief executive officer with strikes at about 100 cafes, demanding that the company drop its alleged antiunion coercion.
The work stoppage, which organizers said will involve stores in more than 40 US cities, is the union Starbucks Workers United's latest effort to force a pivot by the coffee giant. Since scoring an initial landmark victory 15 months ago in Buffalo, New York, the union has prevailed in elections at around 290 of the company's roughly 9,000 corporate-owned US cafes. But the pace of new unionization petitions has slowed down, as workers allege the company has been retaliating in stores and stonewalling them at the bargaining table.

Starbucks said earlier this week that that it offers industry-leading benefits and that it respects employees' right to organize and protest, but believes having a direct relationship with staff is core to its culture.

The company has said repeatedly that all claims of antiunion activity there are "categorically false." Starbucks has accused the union of failing to fairly negotiate, and has said US labor board officials are trying to use cases against it to establish new precedents that would change existing labor law.

Not on this list because of its nature, but Azim Premji heads one of the biggest Indian companies WIPRO. There is a real problem with education though among Indian Muslims and no government has been able to or cared enough to break through in this. That's why it's kind of funny to hear the bhakts bleat on and on about Muslim appeasement. Political parties might have used Muslims as vote banks, but they haven't really done anything for the average Muslim who wasn't already part of the elite. That's where Christians and Parsis do better because of their focus on education.

On Azim Premji, after the formation of Pakistan, MA Jinnah invited Azim's father to be a Minister there, but he opted to remain in India. Might have been a purely business decision at the time, but his son has continued the legacy of an already successful business family.

On Azim Premji, after the formation of Pakistan, MA Jinnah invited Azim's father to be a Minister there, but he opted to remain in India. Might have been a purely business decision at the time, but his son has continued the legacy of an already successful business family.

Like you have mentioned , it's the impetus to education that helps Christian, Parsi or Jewish communities to stand out in India along with more opportunities for their women when compared to larger demographics such as Hindus and Muslims. This urge has to come from within the community regardless of assistance provided by the government of the day. In India and even more in Pakistan unless communities encourage women to step up in education and then subsequently in jobs and business they will lag behind the Parsis, Christians, Jews etc.

A few years back I was reading an article the success of the Indians in the US. One of the reasons that stood out was that most of these CEO's mothers were also highly educated and had worked in a high position before motherhood. Thats not the case in pakistan, it is changing in the USA for pakistani Americans though.

True. Education and financial independence for women is of paramount for any community or society to thrive. Even in this part of the world, countries like Bangladesh, Srilanka , Bhutan and Thailand are ahead of the rest of their peers because of focus in education for their women and increasing participation of them in workforce.

Not all of them. Sundar Pichai's mother was a typist in a bank, and Satya Nadella's mother was a Sanskrit lecturer, for example. Both educated, but not in high positions.

The main reason for Indians being successful, both in the US and elsewhere, is the average Indian middle class family's obsession with becoming rich and successful. For families with no money, inheritance or business acumen to fall back on, the only route upwards is through education. So the parents force their kids to study and think of nothing else in most families. The idea of success and competition is driven into them at a very young age. Many lower middle class people have also been known to pawn their lands and property to fund their children's education.

I also know of cases where parents even sold their kidneys to get their children through engineering or medical schools.

The result is a highly educated and very ambitious bunch of people who have high aspirations, both in career and finances. They want to get rich and successful, and can think of nothing else.

If you set your sights on one thing in life and work extremely hard towards it, there is a good chance that you will achieve it.

The US is a country that welcomes such types, and gives them the incentive to succeed through hard work, without making any demands of 'cultural assimilation'. Hence the success of Indians in the US.

Yes not all , but most were highly educated and had worked in the corporate world. I will try to find the article when have time.

That’s one hell of a list. Great accomplishment. One question to Indians. Where are the Christian or Muslim Indians on this list, or Parsi . All I see is Hindu names mostly. What do you think is the reason

Education, small nuclear family, no office or identity politics, keep to themselves, saving mindset, and even a lack of victimhood. It's not just big CEOs, but many good small businesses as well.

Most Hindus don't have this victim mindset about society is failing them or welfares, rather it's always in their hard and committed work. Thus the term of aspirational Hindus.

Not only the corporate giants. But many medium sized ones have Indians in very high positions. All of them are extreme workaholics and total geeks. I see them when I attend parties and functions. All they talk about is work and technologies. The dominance of Indians in IT and other tech companies is something else.

I thought Mallus are quick to claim clannish credit wherever they can.

He doesn't represent you?

It was not about representing me, it was about answering the question

No, Pakistanis have better things to do like; pondering on whether to abolish the blasphemy law or dig their head into Kashmir..

I do not see Pakistan's economic or social improvement ever. In fact, our situation is getting worse with each passing day - 18,000 babies are born every day, coupled with lack of wheat, poor education, rise of far-right, and a serious dearth of water, I can sense that Pakistan is its way to rank 196 on the HDI and become the world's poorest and most strife-stricken nation.

Pakistan is finished, I have repeated it so many times over the years..

Zia Ul Hag sealed Pakistan's fate decades ago.....

Pakistan will just go the way it is.

The World Bank confirmed Wednesday that Ajay Banga will be its next president, handing him the reins at a pivotal time as it looks to reshape its role to better address climate change.

"The Board looks forward to working with Mr. Banga on the World Bank Group Evolution process," the development lender wrote in a statement published shortly after executives voted to approve his leadership for a five-year term.

The bank also said it looked forward to working with Banga on "all the World Bank Group's ambitions and efforts aimed at tackling the toughest development challenges facing developing countries."

Banga, the US candidate who was the sole nominee for the top job, will begin his new role on June 2, taking over from David Malpass who is stepping down early amid criticism over his stance on climate change.

- More private sector participation -

Under an unwritten arrangement, a US citizen has historically held the presidency of the Washington-based development lender, while the International Monetary Fund has been run by a European.

Despite growing public unease over America's continued grip on the bank's presidency from developing and emerging economies, the trend continues with Banga, 63, who was born into a Sikh family in India and is a naturalized US citizen.

Banga previously ran the payments company Mastercard for more than a decade between 2010 and 2021. He has also served on the boards of the American Red Cross, Kraft Foods and Dow Inc.

He told reporters that during his candidacy, he wanted to see greater private sector funding to help tackle financing for global problems.

"There is not enough money without the private sector," he said, adding that an organization like the World Bank should set up a system that could share risk or mobilize private funds to achieve its goals.

"These are all tools in the ******* and I'm going to try and figure it out," he said.

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said last month that she was confident Banga has "the right experience and track record of bringing together governments, the private sector, and non-profits to deliver on our ambitious goals."

- Climate concerns -

Banga will enter his new role at a difficult time for the world economy, with slowing global growth and high interest rates in many major economies.

Low-income countries are expected to suffer a double shock from higher borrowing costs and a decline in demand for their exports due to the tough economic conditions, IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva said last month, adding that this could fuel poverty and hunger.

Banga will take control of the bank shortly after member countries endorsed measures to allow it a $50 billion lending boost over the next decade -- a key objective of outgoing president Malpass.

The move is part of an ongoing evolution of the development lender amid pushes for it to meet global challenges like climate change.

The bank estimates that developing countries will need $2.4 trillion every year for the next seven years just to address the costs of climate change, conflict and the pandemic.

While plans to reform the bank have been broadly welcomed, there has been concern by some countries that new objectives could relegate the pressing economic development needs of members in developing economies.

"We want to make sure that the development agenda is not diluted in the climate agenda," Abdoul Salam Bello, a member of the bank's executive board representing 23 African countries, told AFP last month.

"Climate is important, but we don't want to have a trade-off where we have an agenda that will be climate versus development," he said.
