siliconindia | | November 20176EditorialSagaya ChristurajManaging Editoreditor@siliconindia.comSatya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, Nikesh Arora, Thomas Kurian and Sanjay Mehrotra--names now synonymous the business landscape. Decision makers of some of the world's most recognizable companies share origins from India--not a coincidence but a point to note. A recent cross-cultural study from Southern New Hampshire University examined managers from the U.S. and India, for example, and found that more Indian managers achieved the highest ranking in terms of leadership traits. It is not just top executives, either. More than 16 percent of start-ups in Silicon Valley had an Indian co-founder even though Indians represented a little more than six percent of the region's population. The figure for Indian start-ups is even higher in some areas, such as business software.Indian managers are future-oriented, and had a paradoxical blend of genuine personal humility and intense professional will. These leaders achieved extraordinary results and built great organizations without much commotion. Such traits are highly valued in the corporate world. Mix in India's ongoing cultural chaos, which, offers real-life lessons in cooperation, teamwork and leadership, and it makes sense that executives might emerge, capable of steering a sprawling workforce through rapid change. Smart technology leaders with enough business sense are increasingly being elevated in companies, giving a leg up to Indians who traditionally have fewer sales and marketing skills.
