The appointment of Sundar Pichai as the new Google CEO kinda triggered my interest in finding out how Indians are getting at the helm of corporate America. In that i noticed that Satya Nadella is the CEO of Microsoft, Indra Nooyi - Pepsi, Ajaypal "Ajay" Singh Banga - Mastercard, Manoj Bhargava - 5Hr Energy....and now on reading Forbes I get introduced to Vivek Ramaswamy....ofcourse this is not just a coincidence



Forbes wrote:
In June Vivek Ramaswamy, a 29-year-old former hedge fund partner, canceled his honeymoon plans to hike in the French and Swiss Alps. He instead brought his new bride to stand beside him as he rang the bell of the New York Stock Exchange to launch the biggest initial public offering in the history of the American biotechnology industry. What could be more romantic than a few hundred million in paper gains in a single day?

Ramaswamy’s Bermuda-based company, Axovant Sciences, had been formed only eight months earlier, but here it was raising $360 million to develop an Alzheimer’s drug that had been all but abandoned by giant pharma GlaxoSmithKline. On the first day of trading the stock almost doubled, giving Axovant a market capitalization of nearly $3 billion. Considering that Ramaswamy had persuaded Glaxo to part with the unproven remedy for a mere $5 million up front, the newlyweds were ecstatic, as was a veritable wedding party of hedge fund pals who had followed Ramaswamy into the stock.

India is still referred to as a 3rd world country yet it keeps churning out such brilliant brains(Trust me...to be a head of anything in corporate America is no walk in the park). My believe is that culture and religion has a very big part to play here.

When "my friend" was in grad school in kiashland not long ago, nearly all his classmates were from India and China, while only 5% were "white". This is an indication of the face of the corporate world in the next few years.

The world is too big and complicated to be taken over by anyone. Only the weak and diffident can think otherwise.

Just google the top universities and look at the profiles of graduate students. You will realize whites are in the minority.

From the list of 'Indians' provided, only one - Ajay Singh- is an Indian citizen the rest are American citizens. So is this evidence of Indians taking over the world, even if some were born and educated in India?

I suspect there's a bug somewhere ... bugs even.
