By ranking as the ninth largest trading partner of the United States in 2021, India has established itself as a major force in the global economy. The country’s gross domestic product (GDP) is anticipated to expand by 5.9% in 2023, with bilateral commerce between the two countries reaching $159.1 billion in 2021.
According to market capitalization, Indian chief executive officers (CEOs) are in charge of some of the largest corporations in the world, with a significant presence in the technology (tech) industry. For instance, Microsoft’s market value hit $2.27 trillion in May 2023 under the leadership of CEO Satya Nadella. Alphabet (previously Google) has been guided by Indian-American executive Sundar Pichai to a market worth $1.36 trillion.
According to a report released by World of Statistics, there has been a noticeable increase in people of Indian ancestry holding the highest positions.
The list demonstrated the prevalence of CEOs of Indian descent in corporate leadership today. Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Alphabet, is also on the list, along with Satya Nadella, Neal Mohan, and Shantanu Narayen, the leaders of Microsoft, YouTube, and Adobe.
Elon Musk, who is quick to reply to various posts on the microblogging site ‘X’, also acknowledged this list and said, “Impressive’. Ajay Banga, who was chosen to serve as the World Bank Group’s 14th President, is the most recent name to be added to this list. Laxman Narasimhan, Ravi Kumar S, and Sanjay Mehrotra, the CEOs of Starbucks, Cognizant, and Micron Technology, respectively, are also included in the list released by the World of Statistics.
The Global Chief Executive Officer of the French luxury fashion business Chanel, Leena Nair, is one of many corporate leaders of Indian descent in the world. Some additional businesses are Flex, Wayfair, OnlyFans, Motorola Mobility, Novartis, Honeywell, NetApp, Palo Alto Networks, Arista Networks, Albertsons, and Vimeo.
