Rise of Indian CEOs!
India's CEO, Narendra Modi, has become a super CEO among the World leaders with his demonstrated ability of successfully steering a large nation in these challenging times.
Consciously or unconsciously, every Indian's upbringing, values, and mindset are highly influenced and shaped by the profound thoughts and wisdom embedded in India's ancient Vedic scriptures, culture, and way of life.
What made me think about CEOs is the news that Parag Agrawal, an alumnus of IIT-Bombay and a PhD in Computer Science from Stanford University, is replacing outgoing CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey. With this appointment, Agrawal joins a growing number of global CEOs of Indian origin, which currently includes IBM Chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna, Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella, Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, and Adobe Chairman, President and CEO Shantanu Narayen.
There are several other Indian origin bosses at the helm of large companies. They include Rajeev Suri - Nokia, Sanjay Mehrotra - Micron, George Kurian - NetApp, Nikesh Arora - Palo Alto Networks, Sandeep Mathrani - WeWork, Dinesh Paliwal - Harman, Punit Renjen - Deloitte, Vasant Narasimhan - Novartis, Ajaypal Singh Banga - Mastercard, Ivan Manuel Menezes - Diageo, Niraj Shah - Wayfair, to name a few.
One of the common characteristics that he shares with other successful CEOs of large multinational corporations is the ability to formulate a plan of action and execute it swiftly and decisively.
Other leadership skills include innovative thinking that challenge the status quo, the ability to manage risk, and bringing together a talented team of dedicated senior leaders in complete alignment with the organization's mission, vision, purpose and goals. Apart from providing inspiring leadership, he also brings in transparency about failures and setbacks, and a strong desire to work together to overcome them.
