Microsoft names Satya Nadella to replace Steve Ballmer

Bangalore definitely.
Hyderabad is a close second.
Pune is a very distant third.

Though the trend is changing, Bangalore was the biggest center of tech, its slowly changing to the biggest center of high tech R&D/Knowledge economy, while low tech/software is shifting from Bangalore to Hyderabad first and then Pune.

What about Gurgaon and Noida ?? not in the race ???:undecided:

WASHINGTON: Microsoft's board on Tuesday named Hyderabad-born Satya Nadella as chief executive of the legendary tech giant that has given the world products which have become household names like Windows, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook Express. The announcement elevates Nadella, an offspring of the Indian system, to one of the highest-profile corporate jobs globally.

Nadella, 46, will be only the third CEO of Microsoft after founder Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, the man he is succeeding.

The elevation of Nadella, a company insider for 22 years (he recently joked that he has also been married for 22 years), was expected once heavyweight outsiders like Ford's Alan Mulally andNokia's Stephen Elop dropped out or were passed up. The names of Google's Sundar Pichai and Motorola's previous CEO Sanjay Jha also briefly made the rounds, serving to highlight the intensity of PIOs breaking the glass ceiling, something that began some two decades ago, but has become more pronounced now.

In picking Nadella, Microsoft directors selected both a company insider and an engineer. It has often been noted that Microsoft was more successful under the leadership of Gates, a programmer and its first chief executive, than it was under Ballmer, who had a background in sales.

Satya Nadella now finds himself the head of an icon of American business that has struggled for position in big growth markets like mobile and Internet search. The company has correctly anticipated many of the biggest changes in technology — the rise of smartphones and tablet computers, to use two examples — but it has often fumbled the execution of products developed to capitalize on those changes.

It remains to be seen whether Nadella's technical background, along with the closer involvement of Gates in product decisions, will give the company an edge it lacked during the Ballmer years. Microsoft said in a statement that Gates will "devote more time to the company, supporting Nadella in shaping technology and product direction."

Relinquishing his role as chairman will allow Gates to spend over a third of his time with product groups at Microsoft, "substantially increasing my time at the company," he said in a video made for the news of Nadella's selection. Gates said Nadella asked him to make the change in his duties at Microsoft.

Why are we Indians going all crazy about this guy's appointment as CEO of Microsoft? Just because he was born in India? Let us not forget that he is a US citizen, he has abandoned his country of birth for greener pastures.

We will have the right to celebrate on the day when an Indian will found a research and innovation driven company of the same stature as IBM, Bell Labs etc in India.

As far as the question of ethnicity goes, doesn't the whole humanity have their origin in Africa? Satya Nadella, Indra Nooyi, Arun Sarin are not Indians, deal with it.
