This, of course, has to be hailed. A female Vice President, viz. Kamala Harris, who is 50% Indian & now Parag Agrawal’s unexpected elevation at Twitter. It sure has been a banner year in the U.S. for Indian-Americans. This is quite the coup. Though IBM (alas) is no longer a household name, as it once was, it is still a $75 BILLION Dollar (U.S.) company. This is, of course, ultimate validation of the much vaunted ‘American Dream‘. These four, all of them still quite young, for a start, have done very well for themselves & are a HUGE credit (& source of celebration) for India.
Given that I have a 29-year old son, who is also a software-entrepreneur (who successfully sold his first company this August) I am very happy about this trend.
I will, of course, given my lifelong interest in high-tech keep an eye on these folks. Plus, I do own Google stock. I used to own Microsoft too, but not anymore. Ironically, I have never owned IBM shares for any meaningful length of time, even though my entire professional life, one way or another, was ALWAYS IBM-related! That must say something. SMILE.
Anyway, I just wanted to document this, since I wasn’t sure how many people had appreciated the extent of the growing Indian domination.
