#5 Vivek Bhardwaj
When BlackBerry introduced its new Operating System and Smartphones this year, we noticed a young Indian who was the main focus of the event. He is Vivek Bhardwaj, the current head of software portfolio of BlackBerry and ‘the man behind BlackBerry 10’.
He calls himself the ‘British guy in Canada’, but shows an Indian connection. He grew up in U.K., studied information systems and then worked for Siemens Mobile and BenQ Mobile before joining BlackBerry.
His father was born in Punjab and then migrated to U.K while his mother was raised up in Kenya.
