Sundar Pichai Joins Elite Indian-Origin Dozen Heading $400-Bn Biz

International magazine Time once termed CEOs as India’s leading “export” and said that the subcontinent could be “the ideal training ground for global bosses”.

While Google reported a $66 billion revenue in 2014, Microsoft had recorded turnover of over $86 billion last year, PepsiCo’s annual revenue stood at nearly $67 billion in 2014, ArcelorMittal’s annual revenue stood at $79.26 billion, Diageo had $21 billion, Reckitt Benckiser $13.75 billion and SanDisk at $6.62 billion.

In the past, giants like Citigroup, Vodafone, Motorola and Deutsche Bank have also had Indian-origin CEOs.

Moreover, former Google Executive Nikesh Arora, who is currently President of Japanese telecom major SoftBank, is likely to be its next CEO as SoftBank’s founder and chief executive Masayoshi Son has chosen Arora to be his successor.

According to human resource experts, the significant rise of India-born executives at global companies can largely be attributed to the technical skills and the behavioural patterns which make them very much adaptable to any kind of situation they come across.

Experts believe that Indians’ focus on good education and ability to work in difficult situations are aiding to this rising trend and more and more Indians could rise to top positions at global companies in near future.
