Vinod Dham , Vinod Khosla , Sabeer Bahtia , Shiv Ayadurai , Sathya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, Pranav Mistry all are of Indian Origin and achieved big in the New World.
Congrats and Kudos to all these people :).Lets keep him mind what these people had to sacrifice to achieve what they wanted,sometimes they would have gone against the whole world.
They pursued in what they believed and achieved things which were to drastically change the life of Mankind or rather how we live in today’s world.
They were encouraged to pursue what they wanted from the outset, their friends and family backed them up , their adopted “country” gave them the environment to thrive and prosper.
Imagine the above mentioned people working in “Information Technology” as something and those brilliant ideas they possessed would have gone to waste. OMG! That would have been atrocious.
It would be interesting to ask, if the people mentioned above, have been in India, would they have achieved, what they have achieved today?
Some people would say a yes, some people would say a strong a “NO”.
It’s interesting to Analyse the NO’s.
The support for these people to pursue what they wanted emanated from their respective families. How many of the Indian families would encourage the children to risk it all?? Very few!
All the Indian middle class families expect their kin and kith to finish “:Engineering “ and to take a job which pays a sufficient sometimes more than sufficient salaries , get married and have kids and again the cycle starts.
Look at all the achievers, their dreams were intact when they finished their school or college and then they were encourage to innovate and invent and the community around them as well encouraged them to be as they are and to shape up their own dreams
Our Educational institutes and work places are challenging enough even to make a sane man go insane .People coming up the ranks is a big challenge. One has to pass through various hurdles like religious, language, regional favoritism and even if they do, Bosses are always right!! Aren’t they??
If someone‘s is bold and flamboyant enough to speak out or question, that person is the first on the “Hit List”
Even the best of the creative minds are stifled. No wonder “Indian Origin” People are going great guns elsewhere.
Let’s foster an environment where any dream and anyone can win regardless of who he is or where he is from:)
We have enough people working in “Information Technology”, let’s innovate, invent or do something that we like :).
