After Apple's CEO Tim Cook's India visit making headlines, it seems that its now Microsoft's Satya Nadella's turn. Nadella is all set to visit India later this month to address an event hosted by Microsoft on May 30 where he will talk about how technology is fostering a culture of innovation to solve real-world problems in India. He will also meet entrepreneurs and developers as part of the trip.
This will be his third visit to India in previous seven months including his last visit in December when he met Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu. Nadella had also come to India in November, making a stop at Mumbai where he delivered the keynote speech at Microsoft's "Future Unleashed" event. He reportedly also met industry leaders including Anand Mahindra of Mahindra & Mahindra and Axis Bank MD Shikha Sharma.
These visits and increasing engagements by global leaders highlight India's rise as a huge technology consumer and not just as an outsourcing destination.
