Indian CEOs of American Companies versus Chinese Entrepreneurs

Someone posted this on Facebook today – it’s a very interesting insight from Seshadri Kumar, an IIT graduate from Mumbai, India with an MTech and PhD from the US. 

He wrote in an Indian publication, The Wire that it is not surprising that a “dozen of the top CEOs in the world come from a country with 18% of the world’s population”. 

He said he won’t be joining in the celebrations. 

He explained: “But you know who should really be proud? The Chinese. Because Chinese people did not need to go to the US to rise to the top. They were able to create success stories for themselves sitting in China. 

And unlike Indians, who are merely CEOs of companies founded by Americans, like Google, Microsoft and Twitter, the Chinese entrepreneurs founded world-beating companies in China – Alibaba, Tencent, Didi, Xiaomi, Great Wall Motors, Huawei, ZTE, Foxconn and many others. When Indians do that, I’ll join the party”! 

Celtic maintained a four-point gap behind Scottish Premiership leaders Rangers with a narrow 1-0 win over Motherwell. 

Tom Rogic swept home (45+3) as the Steelmen’s defence failed to react to David Turnbull's cute cut-back.


Celtic face a gruelling midweek trip to Dingwall on Wednesday to face Ross County before the League Cup final on Sunday against Hibernian.
