Dear Nair sir, one thing you missed to tell that most of them have gone abroad to get their higer education!

Agree to all of your 5 points but above all, the other country people do not think as we think. They always appreciate ability above natioanality and act in coordination with their boss irrespective of his country of origin . A highly civilized quality.

Legend has it that the trend is that most Indians have become CEO's after the company has reached cruising mode ie. valuation greater than 100 billion $. No Indian has been a CEO when a company was less than 1 million $. In air flights, cruising is done in autopilot mode.

Sorry Sujit. These are not "indian" CEOs. By citizenship, pretty much all are American. By education and profession, they were all nurtured outside India (after emigrating). Second, US is a meritocracy, and with so many people of Indian origin in the US, particularly in the tech sector, it's not a surprise to see good people rise to the top. Third, only in India is this obsession about anyone of Indian origin going to the top anywhere. In the actual companies or countries, they are not looked at as Indian or anything else, just as competent people who got the job. About your repeated points on IIT/IIMs, etc., I don't think they play a role in how people rise up in the professional environment. Most, if not all, have gone to US universities to get graduate degrees, but more importantly, it is their individual skills that has made them successful, not their degrees. So, I think this particular editorial was way off target, and quite irrelevant.

We some Indians didn't allow a foreigner lead as CEO of Indian airliner .what a shamefull act we have done.

caste is race! and plenty of racism is found to be followed by across the globe by top Indian workers.

One of the few times that I disagree with almost every point Sujit is arguing towards Indian's being chosen to lead Global Companies. I think its too simplistic to generalize. I'll try to break it down... 1) Sujit claims that the Indian consumer base can make or break global brands. Not true. If you look at the companies he has listed, their revenues in India are really small compared to the rest of the world. IBM, Google, Adobe, FedEx, Vimeo, Netapp etc. don't collect comparable revenues in India, like they do in the West. 2) Educational institutions that produce great minds. While that is partially true, the IIT's and IIM's are also feeders into the US universities where most of these Indian CEO's were educated. Almost everyone on his list has had advanced US educations before they joined the companies where they spend their entire careers before rising to the top (with a few exceptions) 3) Liberalization giving rise to aspiration... partially true but that again by itself does not account for it. While liberalization opened avenues for many Indians and broadened their horizons, many of the CEO's on this list were educated pre-liberalization and left the country prior to it. 4) Indian managers thinking on their feet - while its true that Indian's are more prone to thinking on their feet, that does not always translate to great leaders. Your investors would prefer calm, steady, strategic leaders who play the long game thru discipline, structure and in a methodical manner... and his list is a testament of people with that personality. 5) Adaptibility - this I agree with. The fact that we uproot ourselves and start all over in the US and assimilate is a testament to our adaptability. Again, not trying to ridicule Sujit but the overgeneralization of the Indian "type" needs to be examined. The fact is our education and emphasis on math and reading skills earlier in our careers gives us an advantage here in the US. Also, our stereotype of hard working, intelligent and loyal employees works in our favor.

Appreciate Sir for your analzysis and guiding us in proper direction to think and act. Human resources ie, population is the biggest edge over other countries. Still enormous amount of competency is yet to be tapped in many fields to name few, sports, manufacturing, education and so on..... India, no doubt is really a great force to recoken with.

They work more and being paid less. That's the reason. They don't complain about better pay.

sir you did forget a few exceptions like phaneesh murthy and i am sure there were ppl who got into controversies

I liked the way you encouraged kids to think globally, taught them about the huge contribution of Ex PMs Narasimha Rao and Dr Manmohan Singh to the Indian economy, and the importance of learning English to complete , lead and stand out on a global level. In this video credit is given to the right topics mentioned above and to the right people. Credit also goes to you and your team for this great Editorial

The question should be rephrased as : Why do global companies choose "South Indian CEOs ?"

I wish my country progress in all spheres I feel proud of my countrymen achieving heights

Jugad is key....ur right...we want to make it work by hook or by crook with whatever resource we have..we manage ..

because they all stopped being indian. most don't have indian passports if not all.

Sujit first things first Thank you for bringing this to the foreThis is a topic close to my chromosomes been at it for decades I consider myself an Indophile to the extent of self destruct Understand your prioritizing The market Albeit The Indian Mind is a kaleidoscope of hues A cocktail of genetic diversity that is a product of Our History 2) Education due to Nehru's brainchild's The Institutes English all mentioned by you Your list should include The Path breakers Francis Menezes Citibank Rajat Gupta McKinsey Arun Netravali Bell Labs My cup runneth over Advertising Chris Rozario Trikaya Grey Ericson Mcann Sohrab Vodafones Sarin My cup is exploding

Very simplistic explanation. How many of these CEOs have been head hunted from India? They're mostly from within the organisation. And secondly, this 'jugaad ' we talk about is destroying innovation because it's easier to copy rather than invent. Nothing to be proud of.

Indian CEO is educated in top Nehtivian educational institutions. And have lived and dealt with causes in the world.

Kapil won in 1983 - pre - liberalisation?? Glad you mentioned Nehru for education and his creation of IIMs and IITs and Manmohan Singh for LPG - liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation The current dispensation does not want to give credit where it is due. No English but Hindi for them!

Great as always , Sujit Nair , crisp and focussed , lot to take for young generation

Fantastic editorial Mr Nair. Keep it up.

Among these CEOs any one did Graduation in USA ? People who do graduation they depend on parents until they graduation and settle in carrier but in USA when kids come to graduation they are independent and they have to earn for their collage fee and living that leads to not concentrating on studies. That’s the main difference.

Elementary chemistry ...While describing physical properties of gold...malleable ,ductile ...And remember "his masters voice" originated in India

I agree Sujit...thanks for the video

Sujit, you forgot one last but not the least important factor and that's the foreigner bisinesses see India a huge market due to its huge population. They use the Indian origin ceo's to sell their products.

Excellent analysis.... thank you 👍

Very good analysis. You are right.

they r not indian when they get top post, indians r hard working and talented as well as thought to be less problematic than american to the board.

Sir you forget Panish Murthy of Infosys

The advantage of a significant market has been wasted by Modi by not joining RECP in 2019. As today the largest trading market is RECP and not India. The fact is even Indian Manufactures are shifting their factories to RECP counties to avoid paying customs duties and get access to a market of 15 countries with a larger population and higher disposable income.

Good analysis . Thanks sir

very correct analysis

Rajat Kumar Gupta CEO of McKinsey & Company was sentenced to 2 1/2 years plus $5 million for insider trading.

Interesting and very pointed analysis 🤔

While we are proud about those of our compatriots we should be able to bring them back to our nation so they can power our journey to the dream position of world leaders in industry.

6th minutes onwards fantastic 👌

Agree wholeheartedly with views presented here on this issue. A word of caution though! While pursuing personal economic enhancement goals to satisfaction abroad, Indians should not ignore their social responsibilities towards the weaker sections of society in distant lands in any manner they possibly can. The moment we’ll meaning countrymen get perceived as “colonial “ & exploitative, their fate could suddenly take a turn for the worse, as happened in Uganda, South Africa, Fiji & Malaysia earlier.

Though wr agree almost all your points, you have given any credit to present regime and it can be problem to network, / editorial.

Well done! Honest assessment!

Great piece. We should be proud of being Indian

Excellent video and great values shared

Awesome analysis as always Sujit

Good topic sujit sir 👍

The list is long. I have only provided 3 high profile cases. This should give Mr. Surjit Nair an opportunity to pause and think.

I FEEL THIS VIDEO SHOULG BE SCREENED IN OUR COLLEGES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PRESENT OPPORTUNITIES . Let me try

These ppl are inspiration to me.

Our Current PM has a different opinion of Late Nehru, he claims he did nothing rather destroyed & wasted 70 years of India.

It was their fluency in English which is the connecting language for the world. But this trend will be slowly dying due to present govts killing of English and promoting hindi. Soon all Indians will be novice without English. Then our students could not get employment even . So these CEO s will be the last few.

We managed to achieve the things. Don't leave things incomplete. Innovative mind set. Adaptive to any situation. Don't complaint outside Hindustan but perform fetch results. Out side Hindustan forget the differences had back home. Relate globally to each other. True communication in English with out side world gives strong base

Only in America not anywhere else in the world.

Your focus is on the Tech Gen Let the youth know Of thea Field diversity of these CEOs Banking Laser Plasma technology Nano technology

Most of them are South indians.

Sujithji, you present one of best analysis. Very balanced. You deserve great heights. Unfortunately if the current trend continues we will have more notorious businessmen and chaiwallas in next few yrs.

but….,the whole tragedy is May be atleast 99% of them may be the Brahmin community who have become the easy cake to Modi & Co ..,perhaps forced them to think narrowly…..however we all of us we Indians are extremely proud and happy of all your achievements in the World 👍👍👍👍👍😆😆😆🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌👌👌👌👌

It's a mystery though most of them proven incompetent to access the post COVID-19 situation correctly resulting in huge job loss

🙏✔️✔️👍👌✅

HaHaHa You mean Indian background CEOs. All foreign educated and all foreign Citizens.

'In India it's different' 😂👌

That means we facilitated brain drain. Why we are unable to retain them ? It is our failure in utilising our talent in our country.

Sujit sir it's adapt not adopt

What is then the contribution of BJP?

Just like once all Beauty peagent winners were from India

Adani's Port and SEZ dollar bond trading at 5.89% in Hong Kong market all other bonds trading at 7% except 3 out of 15 bonds issued.

Quiet simple bcz every one wants to eat cream over milk

Very 👍🏼. 1. Indians are able to tolerate ambiguity. 2. We are good at the competency displayed by James Bond in all his movie. “Adapt and Improvise”

Less pay and perks

had the country not be plagued by the disease of socialism and soft communism rather than supporting entrepreneurship, then all these Indian origin CEOs would have remained in India

I do not think 🤔 it's a great matter . These are all foreign MNC's & not Indian organizations . If someone worked for British East India Company then that was a colonial attachment .Similar is this case .Therefore I cannot agree with the views expressed in this video .

Most of them are south indians and don't speak hindi

Mastercard

Many factual errors are evident in your discourse. Nehru didn't have emphasis on primary education, only opening more universities and IIT and IIMS have not produced single dhirubhai ambani or Google or Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs of Apple. Liberalization was product of preventing bankrupcy.Indians only understand language of danda otherwise in india casteism sexual harassment is most common

Disappointing. I hope you give a better editorial next time. 🙏 cheers.

You and your channel will be boycott by the Andhbhakt because you praised Nehruji for his work discovery of Indian to the world.

Well he is supporting Modi now ditches Rahul Gandhi. Modi is self-made while Rahul Gandhi is family made. As we Indians don't interfere in others matters in others country that mean in uk attack on temples rioting done by muslims . Because none of the CEO is muslim . Also crime rate of Hindu is very low in foreign countries. It also means problem in India of riots are also because of muslims because of ratio

Look at him. Completely skipped George Sosos topic and this guy spoke about Tata yesterday and Adani and Modi issue for long. This is called yellow journalism. He must be on Soros payroll

Sujit, an excellent subject and even better passion that you bring in. The part 2 - Educational Institutions and part 4. Thinking on our feet (RATHER multitasking, which is an inate quality we all have). However, point 1 our huge market, and I completely disagree. That's got nothing to do with our people becoming CEOs.

I think that the title should be “... Indian origin CEOs” and not “...Indian CEOs”... once an Indian renounces his or her Indian passport why should we still call them “Indian”?
