Around the time US President Donald Trump will be visiting India this
month, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will also be in the country.
"Yes,
Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft, will be visiting India later this month
to address customers, partners, young innovators and developers,"
Microsoft said in a statement on Thursday.
Nadella is expected to attend a company event on February 24 and 25.
His
visit comes barely a month after he had voiced his opinion on the new
citizenship law (CAA). Nadella, who hails from Hyderabad and became the
Microsoft CEO in 2014, said last month whatever was happening in India
on this new legislation was just bad.
Talking to editors in New
York in January, Nadella said he would like immigrants to come and set
up startups in India. "I think what is happening is sad. It's just bad. I
would love to see a Bangladeshi immigrant who comes to India and
creates the next unicorn in India or becomes the next CEO of Infosys,"
tweeted Ben Smith, editor-in-chief of buzzfeednews.com, who asked
Microsoft CEO about the CAA at the meeting.
Later, Microsoft
India issued a statement on behalf of Nadella. "Every country will and
should define its borders, protect national security and set immigration
policy accordingly. In democracies, that is something that the people
and their governments will debate and define within those bounds," said
the India-born CEO.
"I am shaped by my Indian heritage, growing
up in a multicultural India and my immigrant experience in the US. My
hope is for an India where an immigrant can aspire to set up a
prosperous startup or lead a multinational corporation, benefitting
Indian society and the economy at large," Nadella said.
