I don't know about the small schools. But I do know the IIT and some others produce some serious talent. I actually JUST hired a gentlemen from IIT, who then came to the US and did his PHD. The dude is SHARP as a whip. I can see him replacing me one day when I decide to retire. But the rigorous schooling they go through in the IIT and some other schools, is truly amazing.

Next time try an IIT + IIM combo.

It's not my place actually to comment on a specific candidate. But I can comment on the republican's strategy. It's going pretty well right now ! Republicans are quietly making sure peeps on the sidelines make up their mind.

And when we are sure that boundary line is stiff enough to hold on the supporting group it would be all hands on deck against the democrats !

congratulation Indians seem to have a clear lead over the Chinese in tech firms clearly. However, what is interesting is TATA acquiring Jaguar.

however, congratulation to Indians for clearly having a lead in IT related businesses

This is no lead. This is the Americans using our capabilities to make money for themselves. Nothing wrong by the Americans, but does not help us in any way.

WELL the people they hiring are doing it willingly due to better pay and benefits and life style.

you can't stop them every human has the right to seek better opportunities. if you have the skills they would allow you as well to rise in rank.

Nadela was not an IITian, and many more prominent examples, who graduated from local engineering colleges.

But to be fair I've had a not very great opinion of Manipal. It's not that they don't produce goos people, just that you need to be rich to study there.

Pure merit, possibility of being meritorious greater than merit+ money

Nope- Google, MS Intel, HP etc. take great pride in being truly international organizations. Trust me....I know . Way better than even some Indian corps that are going global.

Na, IMF head is always European. I think he set out to win the Nobel Prize in Economics before his academic career was hijacked first by the world bank that hired him as chief economist and then by the Indian government.

Plus,
Alen Greenspan and Larry summers do no see eye to eye with Rajan. Old score

Pichai, 43, a Chennai native who went to IIT Kharagpur and later to Stanford and Wharton, will take charge of a slimmed down Google.
WASHINGTON: India-born Sundar Pichai was named CEO of Google on Tuesday by the company's founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin in course of a re-organization that created a mother company called Alphabet.

Pichai, 43, a Chennai native who went to IIT Kharagpur and later to Stanford and Wharton, will take charge of a slimmed down Google (quickly dubbed Google Minus) that Larry Page said will be stripped of companies "that are pretty far afield of our main Internet products," which will all go into Alphabet. Page will be CEO of Alphabet.

The new mother company will include, besides Google, units such as Calico (which focuses on Longevity), X lab (which incubates new efforts like Wing, Google's drone delivery effort) and units dealing with life sciences (such as the one working on smart contact lens that detects blood sugar level). Google's investment arms, Ventures and Capital, will also be part of Alphabet.

"We've long believed that over time companies tend to get comfortable doing the same thing, just making incremental changes. But in the technology industry, where revolutionary ideas drive the next big growth areas, you need to be a bit uncomfortable to stay relevant," Page said in a blog explaining the rational for the restructuring, adding that the "new structure will allow us to keep tremendous focus on the extraordinary opportunities we have inside of Google."

Still, Google will remain the biggest piece of Alphabet. Explaining Pichai's elevation, Page said he (Pichai) has really stepped up since October of last year, when he took on product and engineering responsibility for Google's Internet businesses.

"Sergey (Brin) and I have been super excited about his progress and dedication to the company. And it is clear to us and our board that it is time for Sundar to be CEO of Google. I feel very fortunate to have someone as talented as he is to run the slightly slimmed down Google and this frees up time for me to continue to scale our aspirations," he wrote.

He said he has been "spending quite a bit of time with Sundar, helping him and the company in any way I can, and I will of course continue to do that."

A straight elevation for Pichai would have meant that two of the world's five largest companies by marketcap are headed by executives of Indian-origin -- Pichai at Google which is ranked #4, and Microsoft, which is ranked # 5, is helmed by Satya Nadella.

But it won't be so straightforward. Page explained that Alphabet Inc. will replace Google Inc. as the publicly-traded entity and all shares of Google will automatically convert into the same number of shares of Alphabet, with all of the same rights. Google will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alphabet, which he (Page) will helm. The company's two classes of shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq as GOOGL and GOOG.

Still, the elevation is a milestone for Indian-origin CEOs, of whom there are at least half dozen in Fortune 500 companies, including Indra Nooyi at Pepsi, Ajit Banga at Mastercard, and Sanjay Mehrotra at SanDisk. There is a good chance that the third ranked Berkshire Hathaway too could be headed by a PIO with Ajit Jain strongly tipped to succeed Warren Buffett. Apple and Exxon Mobil are ranked #1 and #2 respectively.

She apparently lost to India's Amit Singhal - Mayer "lost a turf battle to a powerful engineer within Google and was quietly reassigned to oversee Google Maps and other so-called local products." as the NYT says. Though many allege him to be Pichai himself who got her out.

That was Amit Singhal's doing. He supposedly went to Larry Page & said that it was either Marissa Mayer or him. Page was not about to let Singhal go, even if he & Mayers were romantically involved at some point in time.... Pichai had no real clout at that time. He reported to Mayer. Singhal is a Google Fellow, pretty much the father of the search engine itself (the algorithm used in Google search was written by Singhal after he completely rewrote the earlier one by Sergey Brin) and he didn't like the idea of having Mayer interfere with the work of his engineers.
