Why are we seeing a rise of Indian-origin CEOs in the global business landscape?

According to Laxman Narasimhan, the rise of Indian-origin CEOs can be attributed to several factors. India builds resilience, flexibility, and adaptability in its people, essential qualities for CEOs who must find solutions even in imperfect situations. Indian leaders demonstrate a remarkable ability to bring people together and build strong teams around a vision. Indian-origin leaders like Satya Nadella and Sundar Pichai possess humble personalities yet attract large teams to their visions. The combination of these leadership qualities developed in India with the opportunities provided in Western markets creates successful global executives. This trend extends beyond tech, with pioneers like Indra Nooyi breaking barriers and serving as role models for the next generation of Indian business leaders.
