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.

Every politician that allowed Indians into America should be tried for crimes against humanity.
Intentional
Exclusionary
Once Indians get into hiring positions they predominately hire other Indians. So called diversity means nothing to them.
What bothers me are these constant reports I keep seeing that claim Indians stop hiring Americans, and start hiring just Indians when they are in positions to do so.
If they don't want to be color blind when it comes to race or nationality, we shouldn't be either.
Lazy Americans falling for scammers.
“It does not bother me that Indian men have ascended to the top.”
It should they are not for America. The are tribal and only care about their fellow interlopers.
I would be curious to know how many of them are part of the
Brahmin caste in India? Or how many were not part of that caste. Somehow I don’t think any of them came from the Untouchable caste.
If their loyalty isn’t to India, or Hinduism, or Islam, then they are at the very least internationalists through and through, for them business is purely business, and business of the world.
And they practically bring back slavery when they hire all these Indians. Then customer service gets eliminated. They may have just cussed out a Vice-President but they did it cheaply.
Indians only hire Indians. And using the cast system as much as possible.
Not only do they almost exclusively hire other Indians, they hire “down caste,” to ensure their dominance. Viz, Microsoft.
They hire and promote their own.
You actually explained why they have “ascended” to the top.
India has a rigid caste system and they are importing that here.
The problem with Indians is they are extremely clickish.
I’m on the board of one company with an excellent CEO of Indian extraction. He keeps trying to fill the company with other Indians from his caste. Literally every hiring suggestion he makes is Indian.
With that approach to hiring only his co-religionists, I don’t get the “excellent CEO” label.
At least it beats a Muslim, The Indians tend not to want to kill or enslave us.
I had a neighbor from India and the way he talked about Indians, you could have signed him up for the KKK. Brutal. He came to America because he absolutely hated Indian business culture. Indians may be clickish in not hiring native Americans, but in India, they are clickish about not hiring from lower castes, which surprisingly still is a thing in India. Its an extremely hierarchical society that apparently is getting imported into the US in the boardroom if you believe the anecdotes. Having said that, I have worked with a number of Indians who were just fine. The smartest person I ever worked with was Indian. He was a 23 year old kid who looked like he was 14 or 15. He was in a room full of men from their late 20s through their 40s. Within a couple days, he knew more about the issues and was running circles around all of them. It was the most impressive business negotiation I ever saw.
When you have 1,000,000,0000+ people, the long right hand tail of the curve is going to have some pretty smart ones.
Might as well have them working here.
