Elon Musk Praising Indians. Could there be a better way to start our day?
Statistically speaking and also being very honest, most of the tech giant tech companies have CEOs who are either of Indian origin or are Indian. You can’t disagree with that, can you?Â
The recent name on the list is ”Agarwal”
Jack Dorsey is no longer the CEO of Twitter as he stepped down the throne on Monday. Any guesses on who replaced him?
An Indian, of course! Parag Agarwal, an Indian-American and an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. With the newly acclaimed title of new CEO of the biggest microblogging platform.
Elon Musk, the SpaceX and Tesla CEO, on Monday, praised Indian talent. His exact words on his tweet read, “USA benefits greatly from Indian talent!”
