Amid H-1B tensions, two Indian-origin executives, Srinivas Gopalan and Rahul Goyal, rise to top US leadership roles, defying Make America Great Again (MAGA) hardliners and reshaping America's corporate landscape.
At a time when the Donald Trump-led US administration is tightening H-1B visa rules, two major American companies on Monday bucked the trend by promoting India-born leaders to top positions.
T-Mobile, the US telecom giant, will see Srinivas “Srini” Gopalan, 55, step into the CEO role on November 1. Gopalan, an alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad, currently serves as T-Mobile’s Chief Operating Officer and will succeed Mike Sievert, who has led the company since 2020 and moves to the newly created position of vice chairman.

Meanwhile, Chicago-based beverage giant Molson Coors named Rahul Goyal, 49, as its new president and CEO, effective October 1. Goyal, who succeeds Gavin Hattersley (remaining in an advisory role through the end of the year), has been with the company for 24 years.
A native of India, he studied engineering in Mysore before moving to the US for business studies in Denver, and has worked across Coors and Molson brands in the US, UK, and India.

And just like that, there were no Ukraine posts any more.
Take what? If these 2 Indians hold H1Bs then they have issues. Trying to paint Making America Great Again as a negative thing is falling on deaf ears. If I had T Mobile I’d switch immediately.
Hopefully these two guys have all their paperwork in order and all fees paid on a timely basis. I’d hate to think they are fakirs like that school superintendent in Des Moines.
Indians have low IQs, but not as low as Ukrainians.
Oh and Molson Coors both suck
I hear that your buds are pining for you over on the Great Big Giant Ukraine Lover thread.
“Pinink For The Fjords”
I DO NOT DRINK—SO I DON’T CARE ABOUT COORS.
HOWEVER-—I WILL AVOID T-MOBILE AT ALL COSTS
competence is the issue, not the color of their skin. Are they there on merit?
they steal from us and invade our countries and they hate us the entire time. Not a ‘thank you’, just an F you.
All because insane drunkard Ted Kennedy hated America and wanted to destroy American Christians with his open border diversity plan.
All the more reason to get rid of as many Indians as possible.
So India is telling Americans to go **** themselves. India is running this chicken coop now. Nice.
India is colonizing America. Looks like the Messicans are going to be out of luck.
Come on!! Stop it!!
Mexicans hate working with Indians, too.
Kiryandil follows this original poster around to harass them and I’m sick of it.
OK, neckbeard.
That's right - you haven't been on Free Republic long enough to remember the dangerous trolls.
T-mobile is majority German owned.
Competence is almost irrelevant.
They’re hired a) for the DEI/AA points and b) access to foreign markets through ethnic connections.
As soon as they get in, they will immediately increase Indian hiring exponentially, because in the end, that’s the goal: get as many of them into a company as possible and then ruthlessly exclude all others: look at Microsoft and Intel for example.
Your little CivNat “but competence!” meme is nonsense. Selling beer? You could make a really good case that only a German or even a Mexican should occupy that slot.
Your little CivNat “but competence!” meme is nonsense.
merit is not a goal, so why bother.........................
I am glad you are not running things.......
