After decades of climbing the executive ranks at US companies, more men of Indian descent are now entering the boardroom. A record 16 Indian men joined S&P 500 boards this year, taking directorships at companies including Walmart Inc., Southwest Airlines Co. and Western Digital Corp., according to ISS-Corporate and data provider Equilar. Only White men and women added more seats.
The surge caps a longer shift. The share of Indian men among directors at Fortune 500 and S&P 500 companies has tripled since 2018, outpacing increases for women, Black and Hispanic directors, according to data from James Drury Partners.
The boardroom gains come as companies put increased emphasis on directors with chief executive officer or operating experience - credentials that many Indian business leaders have accumulated after decades in the US, according to recruiters and the executives themselves. Of the 184 Indian men on Fortune 500 and S&P 500 boards, 77 per cent have operating, or so-called profit-and-loss, backgrounds, the James Drury data show. Roughly two-thirds have held CEO roles.

The London-Davos-WEF cabal is indeed global.
It appears there is a pecking order and they give money or gifts to their betters.
I have worked in a larger company with these H-1Bs that got hired internally, after being tried as “consultants.” One became my “team lead.” He demanded all emails to management go through him to email onward. I, and others on my team, did so. He then represented the work AS HIS OWN, to everyone. When my 360 review came up, my manager asked me which people in management he could send a request to to review me, and I told him that for the first time in my life, I have absolutely no records or emails where I could say something substantial was ever talked with anyone in management.
This Indian fraud also wined and dined managers at his house, for a couple years.
He got promoted, then his new team gave him terrible ratings and said he never did anything. That is what I, and others on my team had dealt with, too.
A year later, he had all employees removed from his care and he just directly reported to the next in management.
He should have been fired. He was retained because his history looked “productive” and he helped “the numbers.”
Another Indian, a former H-1B, was my manager, later. I actually volunteered to go over to him, as he needed “help.” I went, and the first year was so-so, then the next his own lack of management skills really showed up. He didn’t do all sorts of work his boss requested of his peer managers, then found ways to blame ME for his inadequacies. I had said, in multiple team meetings, that we needed to do multiple things and these could only be done by him or others in management. He was SO lazy! He got another on my team to work to screw me over. It almost became lawsuit stuff. There was no proof to his lies and his own boss finally agreed with me, but only after some damage had already been done, by him.
He had promised a promotion to the jerk who “helped” him against me, but that person never got it.
However, I do know some Indians, former H-1Bs, who do know their stuff, and a few who I would even call great friends, even like family.
Indians are fine. It’s the communists, socialists, DEI hires, and woke liberal idiots that you should be worried about.
White man become ghost in everything.

Democrats are literally replacing the American People Again, HOLY CR*P— Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) September 27, 2026
China is similar - although to a far lesser degree. The Chinese communists destroyed the worst aspects of their old caste/regional/religious/racial prejudices, favoritism and local social and patronage networks.
In India, that never happened and it's all off the charts. These CEOs want to hire people they know, and who they can CONTROL. Many have a quiet grudge against American whites, and they disrespect American blacks.
They are building their own patronage networks.
Cool story bro. Indians still suck.
Graham Staines and his sons — Odisha, 1999. On January 23, a mob led by Dara Singh surrounded the vehicle in which Australian missionary Graham Staines and his sons Philip, 10, and Timothy, 6, were sleeping, set it on fire, and prevented them from escaping. Singh was later convicted; the Supreme Court upheld his life sentence in 2011. Wikipedia
Father Arul Das — Odisha, 1999. The same extremist, Dara Singh, was convicted for leading a mob that burned a church and killed Catholic priest Arul Das with an arrow as he tried to flee. Wikipedia
Kandhamal violence — Odisha, 2007–08. During attacks attributed to Hindu-nationalist groups including the VHP, Bajrang Dal, and RSS-linked networks, Christians were murdered, churches and homes were burned, and thousands were displaced. Government figures cited at least 39 Christian deaths in the 2008 violence, while church and civil-society groups reported substantially higher totals—sometimes close to 100. Wikipedia
Christian pastor and other victims in Kandhamal — 2008. News accounts described Christians being beaten to death, burned, hacked, or buried alive during the violence. One reported victim was a Dalit Christian pastor whose husband was dragged out and killed with a stone; survivors also described bodies being desecrated and families being threatened with forced reconversion. religionunplugged.com
A Christian tribal leader — Kandhamal, 2008. A Hindu tribal leader who had tried to protect Christians was reportedly stabbed and burned to death after opposing the attackers. The men tried for the murder were acquitted of the killing charge, according to the report. religionunplugged.com
Father K. M. Philip — Karnataka, 2008. During the wave of anti-Christian attacks in Karnataka, Catholic priest K. M. Philip was reported killed in an attack connected by investigators and church leaders to Hindu extremist violence. Accounts of the case vary, so it should be treated as a reported allegation rather than an uncontested finding. Christians killed during anti-conversion violence in Chhattisgarh and other states — 2020s. Rights groups and Christian organizations have reported killings of Christian converts and family members following threats, social boycotts, and pressure to reconvert. These more recent cases are often locally reported and may involve disputed motives or incomplete prosecutions; they should be checked case by case rather than treated as one centrally directed campaign.
Anti-conversion laws used against Christian worship. At least 12 Indian states have laws restricting religious conversion through “force,” “fraud,” or “allurement.” Critics say vague terms allow ordinary evangelism, prayer meetings, charitable aid, or private worship to be treated as criminal conversion activity. In Uttar Pradesh, police arrested at least 12 Christians—including two pastors—in June 2024 after complaints about prayer meetings in private homes. uscirf.gov
Harshened penalties in Uttar Pradesh. Amendments taking effect in 2024 expanded who could file a complaint and made alleged unlawful conversion punishable by up to life imprisonment. The changes also made bail more difficult. Critics say this enables complaints by Hindu-nationalist activists even when the alleged convert does not claim coercion. eclj.org
Convictions of Christian pastors and spouses. In April 2024, a Madhya Pradesh court sentenced Pastor Ramesh Ahirwar and his wife, Sakshi, to two years in prison and fined each ₹25,000 under the state’s anti-conversion law. In January 2025, Uttar Pradesh pastor Jose Pappachan and his wife, Sheeja, were reportedly convicted and sentenced to five years in prison after being accused of trying to convert Hindu neighbors through food and educational programs. uscirf.gov
Arresting Christians after attacks on them. Reports describe a recurring pattern in which Hindu-nationalist groups disrupt a Christian service or assault worshippers, allege “forced conversion,” and police then detain the Christians rather than the attackers. In one 2024 Uttar Pradesh case, a mob interrupted a house prayer meeting; police detained around 10 or 11 worshippers, including a 13-year-old girl, while the alleged attackers were not treated similarly.
Failure to register or investigate attacks. The United Christian Forum reported 834 anti-Christian incidents in 2024, including physical assaults, property damage, threats, and restrictions on religious gatherings. It said only 392 resulted in formal police reports, suggesting that many complaints were not fully registered or investigated. csi-int.org
Restrictions on religious gatherings. Local officials and police have reportedly demanded permission for Christian worship services, including gatherings in private homes, even though the Indian Constitution protects freedom of religion. The United Christian Forum recorded 331 cases in 2024 involving restrictions on Christian religious meetings. csi-int.org
Discrimination against Christian tribal communities. In Chhattisgarh, Christian converts have reportedly faced social boycotts, denial of access to water or community resources, pressure to reconvert to Hinduism, and problems securing burial grounds. In one reported case, police required a “no objection certificate” from a village council before releasing the body of a deceased Christian man for burial, although critics said such permission was not legally required. csi-int.org
Inadequate protection from mob violence. The Evangelical Fellowship of India recorded 640 verified anti-Christian incidents in 2024, including arrests, physical attacks, church disruptions, threats, vandalism, and social exclusion. Its cases included a pastor in Uttar Pradesh who was assaulted, publicly humiliated, and then charged under the state’s anti-conversion law, and a Christian woman in Chhattisgarh who was reportedly murdered after prolonged harassment. churchinchains.ie
Discriminatory legal environment. International religious-freedom monitors have criticized not only anti-conversion laws but also the broader use of laws governing citizenship, national security, and public order against religious minorities. They argue that these measures, combined with police inaction toward Hindu-nationalist violence, disproportionately burden Christians and other minorities. uscirf.gov
The Indian government and state governments generally defend anti-conversion laws as measures against coercion, fraud, and exploitation, and they deny that India systematically persecutes Christians. The central criticism is that the laws are written broadly, complaints can be initiated by third parties, and police or local officials sometimes treat peaceful Christian activity as criminal while failing to protect Christians from intimidation and assault.
💯 all day long
The Caste System comes to the Boardroom.
They are more fun!...............
“With that approach to hiring only his co-religionists, I don’t get the “excellent CEO” label.”
I understand your push back. And it’s a serious failing.
That said, production is way off the charts, profits are much better, and costs are down relative to production increase. Employees are happier. Things are more organized. Etc.
‘
The previous CEO was very good at building things, not running a business.
I’ve actually taken him aside and told him the behavior is a discussion point on the board, and he understood. I don’t think it’s anything malicious; it’s people he knew and liked from other companies — who are naturally people like himself.
Microsoft turning to a pile of Slop = India
“Once Indians get into hiring positions they predominately hire other Indians. So called diversity means nothing to them.”
I’ve seen exactly this happen many times over the last 15 - 20 years. First at the M1 level, then M2, then Director and VP - to the point that my department is now 80% Indian. To the overall detriment of the company. 95% of them can’t solve a problem they weren’t taught to solve in school. Zero, and I mean ZERO, ability to come up with novel solutions and think outside the box.
I’m glad I’m close to retirement.
Sorry saar, no job for you saar...
The jeetification of American business and tech continues.
If a company wants a soulless CEO without scruples, someone that would sell his own mother for a few bucks, then hiring an Indian makes sense in most cases.
Apparently your neighbor wasn’t lying. This article breaks it down well.

Donnie’s brilliant GOP Ohio GOV primary pick
let it slip how he prefers hires fellow Indian invaders and not whites
and we will be crush in the Ohio Gov race.
And appears he will flip Ohio to the Dems.
Thanks Donnie.
Indians can be fine in India
They have a terrible culture and their religion is demonic. They can stay in their own country instead of getting imported into the West because our leaders hate Americans.
This is absolutely true. I know from first-hand experience over the past 20+ years.
