I hope you don’t need any introduction about Microsoft Corporation and its products. On Tuesday, 4th January, 2014 Microsoft got its new CEO and Bill Gates stepped down as chairman and will guide the new CEO. Before Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft was Steve Ballmer. The news is now viral mainly in India because Satya Nadella belongs to India. Nadella is one of the few Indian CEOs of top companies.
