New India Abroad proudly celebrates the recognition of two Indian-origin visionaries — Satya Nadella and Sundar Pichai — who have secured top spots in Fortune magazine’s 2025 list of the 100 Most Powerful People in Business. Nadella, Chairman and CEO of Microsoft, ranks an impressive second, while Pichai, the CEO of Alphabet and Google, stands strong in sixth place.

Born in Hyderabad, Satya Nadella has been a transformative force at Microsoft. He led the company beyond its traditional roots in personal computing toward dominance in cloud infrastructure, and now, into the AI revolution. Nadella’s strategic decision to partner early with OpenAI has placed Microsoft at the cutting edge of generative AI development. Despite some friction in that partnership, Microsoft continues to thrive as a Big Tech powerhouse under his leadership.



Fortune describes Nadella as “one of the sharpest strategic minds in management today,” and praises his empathetic leadership style. He is considered a trusted advisor not just within tech circles, but also among global leaders — from Fortune 500 CEOs to heads of state.

Sundar Pichai, originally from Tamil Nadu, has similarly shaped Google and Alphabet’s future through a focus on AI, sustainability, and product innovation. His calm demeanor, strategic foresight, and technological vision have solidified his reputation as a global leader.

At New India Abroad, we view their recognition not only as individual achievement but as a symbol of India’s growing global influence. Nadella and Pichai are powerful reminders of how Indian talent continues to shape the future of technology and business on the world stage.
