Many of the top global tech companies have CEOs of Indian origin. And now, Parag Agrawal, who stepped up as Twitter’s CEO, has joined the bandwagon.
From Google’s Sundar Pichai to Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, Adobe’s Shantanu Narayen, Mastercard’s Ajaypal Singh Banga, Nokia’s Rajeev Suri, NetApp’s Rakesh Kapoor, IBM’s Arvind Krishna, and now Twitter’s Parag Agrawal, Indian talent is ruling the top positions of the top global tech companies.
Google, Microsoft, Adobe, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, and now Twitter run by CEOs who grew up in India. Wonderful to watch the amazing success of Indians in the technology world and a good reminder of the opportunity America offers to immigrants. ???? (Congrats, @paraga!)
