It's a stretch to call it a hagiography. Perhaps you want others to add such links to create a mosaic...

I think all these Indian sites are celebrating prematurely. Hope they won't be disappointed.

Today Sundar Pichai emerged as a front runner. He is probably a better choice.

Agree....Pichai is a Tambrahm IYER boy and hence superior to this Gult.

Hey...I am an equal opportunity hater of the elite.... I hate everything/everyone equally...

Sure the media will dump Nadella and sing the praise of IITs. I think this is the year of the KGP and Pichai Iyer surely has a better shot at the job.

If this Pichai guy had really interviewed for the CEO position at MicroSoft, won't Google fire him for looking for a job elsewhere?

I thought if you were looking for a job elsweher somehow you are supposed to keep it secret from your current employer.

>>>>These are high value guys. In fact, they may pay him a lump sum to stay back. I was just reading that he was paid 50 million to not leave last time when a situation like this came up.  I think Twitter was trying to get him too. On the interview thing, it doesn't quite happen like that. The idea is everyone has a price and everyone know it.  So no particular stigma attached to it.

The guys higherup openly look for jobs elsewhere - rather, OTHERS always try to hire them - Coaches, successful CEOs, Well-known, established managers.

What you say is true only for those who are holding their jobs courtesy of the employer. Now Watch Pichai going over to Microsoft (who wants to move from the Bay area to redmond?) OR Google cough up a hefty ($100mils) bonus for him to stay.

If pichai is hired by msft, pichai may have to pay back some of 50m based on how the retention bonus is structured. If pichai is required to pay back, msft will provide a mechanism to pay or compensate for that amount.

Google would not pay another big money to pichai. Otherwise pichai or people like him can have this drama repeated often.

>>> Of course. With Google, what if they structure a career path + compensation structure for him that will be difficult to pass up on? I am speaking hypothetically. I know he is thought of well at Google, but I don't know how far they will go.

While getting an MBA from the University of Chicago over two and a half years, he worked on an operating system that would become Windows NT.

"I used to fly to Chicago Friday nights, attend classes Saturdays and come back to Redmond to work during the week," Nadella said, according to Microsoft's website.

>>>>What kind of MBA is that?

Classes on Saturdays? Where was the time to do homework? Looks like it did not take much work to get that piece of paper.

Yup, daggers will be drawn and he will be forced out like Vikram Pandit was forced out from Citi. I think he has been appointed as a stopgap until they find a gora with a charming personality.

Has to be Executive MBA. The fake one - The Equivalent MBA. As usual Indians dont mention the word "executive" just like the media drop the word "Milwaukee" where he got his MS degree and simply state that as Univ of Wisconsin.

But he got the job for what he did at Microsoft. Shows that one may be average in studies and books but totally different when it comes to work. Manipal, Milwaukee and Ex MBA but ends up as CEO of Microsoft. He is a role model for all the average Joes.

i too think he is going to do fine. comparisons with pandit are not quite relevant.
the slight worry is the lingering presence of BG and SB on the board.

Because he was perceived as a wiz who knows complex derivatives but lacks in the leadership and charm department. Such people are normally the "backend" while the "frontend" is manned by a gora with charm. Pandit was foisted to the top because of the deep shit citibank was in at that time.

well you needlessly flatter us, but the truth remains that MS (and every other board in corporate america) can't go wrong with dropping their entire board members and nominating you as the grand poobah to take all decisions.

he was at Applied materials and McKinsey for short periods.

Besides Gates does not like IITians...and I heard Pichai did not get high enough JEE rank.

But he got the job for what he did at Microsoft. Shows that one may be average in studies and books but totally different when it comes to work.  Manipal, Milwaukee and Ex MBA but ends up as CEO of Microsoft. He is a role model for all the average Joes.

I like this guy.  

Because Gates is a college dropout himself , he and the board doesn't give too much importance for academic credentials.

>>>Satya is an insider + he is smart. I thought Pichai had a shot only because he was seen as someone who could shake things up a bit. Was Pichai at MS at some point? One of my friends who does consulting on wall street said this may have been the case and gates does not reward people who jumped ship. I need to go back and read Pichai's background.

he was at Applied materials and McKinsey for short periods.

Besides Gates does not like IITians...and I heard Pichai did not get high enough JEE rank.

>>>Pichai was a McKinsey guy? I had lunch with one of their alumni last weekend. Funny, he didn't bring it up even though we talked about MS.

>>>I knew one kid who went to IIT. He is a Maharashtrian Brahmin who grew up in Trivandrum. One day, a couple of his classmates from IIT visited him. We all went out. All the time they wwre talking about their IITian friends referring to their JEE ranks. " You know that Balaji JEE #10, Gopi JEE #162...and so on. I thought that kind of talk must be humilating for kids with JEE rank > 2000.

>>>It is also boring as hell. My cousin was 47th and he told his kids to go pubic universities here and study whatever they want. He told me in an off-the-cuff moment the whole thing was to please his parents and sort of wished he had done something else.

Classes on Saturdays? Where was the time to do homework? Looks like it did not take much work to get that piece of paper.

Has to be Executive MBA.  The fake one - The Equivalent MBA. As usual Indians dont mention the word "executive" just like the media drop the word "Milwaukee" where he got his MS degree and simply state that as Univ of Wisconsin.

But he got the job for what he did at Microsoft. Shows that one may be average in studies and books but totally different when it comes to work.  Manipal, Milwaukee and Ex MBA but ends up as CEO of Microsoft. He is a role model for all the average Joes.

They kind of victimized Pichai by releasing the news that he was in the running. I thought that Pichai had a shot at the top post in Google. Now they are going to bring up his "loyalty" when he takes a shot at it when the post becomes vacant.
PS: Imagine if Pichai heads Google and some other Indian born heads Apple with Satya at Microsoft.

>> When the Nadella name came up prominently, I thought Pichai could be a possibility but felt he was a lifetime googler. It seemed like he was destined for big things at google. Yeah, Google, MS and Apple being run by Indians is not outside the realm of possibility. There is a lot of depth of experience in that crowd in the valley.

I would not be shocked if our Netas back home raked up the caste angle even then and perhaps demanded quota and reservation...Razz

Guess he is a backward caste guy, although these kammas and Reddys claim different grades. Bill Gates must be a CONman.
