Microsoft picks IIT-Madras alumnus Pavan Davuluri to lead Windows and Surface teams

Microsoft has chosen Pavan Davuluri, a company veteran and an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras, to lead its Windows operating system and Surface devices teams. Davuluri, who joined Microsoft in 2001, has been serving as the corporate vice president for almost three years. He is now taking on additional responsibilities after the departure of Panos Panay to Amazon last fall.

Davuluri graduated from IIT Madras and then pursued a Master of Science degree at the University of Maryland in the United States in 1999. He has been a part of Microsoft since the start of his career, beginning as a Reliability Component Manager in 2001. Throughout his career journey, Davuluri has held various positions at Microsoft. His most recent role prior to this promotion was as Corporate Vice President, overseeing Windows Silicon and Systems Integration. In his new position, Davuluri will lead a team focused on developing silicon systems.

Last week, Microsoft unveiled its first Surface PCs with a Copilot button for quickly accessing the chatbot in Windows. “I’m incredibly proud of the team for the work they did to bring these devices and experiences to life for our customers,” Davuluri wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Sundar Pichai

CEO of Alphabet Inc. (Google’s parent company).
Under his leadership, Alphabet joined the ranks of $2 trillion companies.

Satya Nadella

CEO of Microsoft since 2014.
Microsoft briefly became the world’s largest company ahead of Apple during his tenure.

Arvind Krishna

CEO of IBM

Shantanu Narayen:

CEO of Adobe

Nikesh Arora:

CEO of Palo Alto Network

Jayshree Ullal:

CEO of Arista Networks

Raghu Raghuraman:

CEO of VMWare

Treason to put another Indian in charge. What’s wrong with an American company hiring Americans?

These companies will argue that the CEOs are ALL Americans now.

Yep, and this is why 99% of recruiters on the job boards are also Indians and why Americans are not getting hired. This is a problem as big as our open border.

Well, the question is — aren’t these CEOs who are hired, AMERICANS?

Serious question: Are Indians really that much better at tech, and running Tech Companies than any other race?

What is this obsession with India? Do our companies pay their execs lower wages too? Did the American execs have to train their replacements>?

India sends us their garbage, AND they join BRICS. Scumbag street sh-tters... I used to have a high affinity for them, but not anymore. Then again, are WE worthy of respect?

Regardless of where they were born and/or educated, if they are native or naturalized American citizens, then they are Americans.

But here's the real issue. College education in India is now far superior to US college education. American college graduates come out with degrees in gender studies, while Indian graduates have learned something useful.

The reason the Indians are in so many positions of power in US industry is that, by and large, they're really very smart and make good, focussed executives, and they outshine the native Americans who are by and large woke wusses.

Like all gross generalizations, the above is subject to argument, of course.

Indians => Globalists.

It’s in their blood and in their spiritual DNA.

These are invaders, not Americans. They hire fellow Indians, not Americans.

If only they would let our “African American community” in on the secret to evading the “systemic racism” and “white supremacy” that we’re told hides behind every rock and tree, just waiting to foil their dreams of being doctors and lawyers.

ROFL. If by “focused executive” you mean nepotist tyrant, you’re close.

The other half of the equation is dedication to globalism based on cultural and religious casteism. In their eyes nearly every are just dirt for the elites to use which is the same thought the neo-feudalist WEF etc. have.

This whole endowed by a Creator with unalienable rights thing is nonsense to them.

Microsoft ceo is from India. Once an indian gets in they hire only other indians. The last company I worked at had the upper 4 managers in IT replaced by people from India.
I have read this same thing happening at other companies for years.

A very third world thing to do. In the Third World something good happens to you (like a job!) you’re expected to share the good fortune with family, clan, tribe and nationality. It’s completely moral in their eyes.
