12 Indian CEOs of Global Giants

We all are familiar with names like Satya Nadella & Sundar Pichai who became the success stories of Indian Education System. In past one year these names gained several inches of columns of every news publication, because of 2 reasons - Firstly the companies that they are heading and secondly the country that they belong to.

India, is known for it's diversity. While growing up, you deal with all kinds of people, all types of cultures and different kinds of situations. So, we have something natural when it comes to problem solving. As a matter of fact we don't have any IITs anywhere near the top 100 technical institutes in the world, but we have IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore & ISB Hyderabad in the top 100 Business schools in the world.

According to a study by Egon Zehnder, there are more Indian CEOs then any other nationality after Americans in the S&P 500 companies. In one of their articles TIME quoted CEOs as "India's leading export".

Junior Wold Golf Champion, A Milk Man's Son :- Shubham Jaglan

"I started off by playing golf in our 'sarson ka khet'. My grandfather asked me to take up a new sport instead of obvious and much-easier choice - wrestling. I learnt golf from internet as there was no coach or mentor in our village. Seeing my interest in the game, my father took me to Madhuban golf course in Karnal." He said this to India Today after winning TaylorMade-Adidas World Junior Golf Tournament 2013. Jaglan has won over 100 domestic and international tournaments and is a recipient of the "NDTV - Emerging Player" & "Margdarshan" awards.

From Israna, near Panipat to Las Vegas & California, it has been a dream journey for him. On 19th July'15, he clinched a one stroke win at the Junior Wold Golf Championship in California and just after 5 days on 23rd July'15 he won IJGA World Stars of Junior Golf event in Las Vegas. More than 1000 participants from 45 different countries have participated in world championship and some Past champions of this tournament include Notah Begay III, Ernie Els, Phil Mickelson, Corey Pavin, Nick Price, Craig Stadler, David Toms and Tiger Woods. 

He was born in a village Israna, near Panipat, Haryana. His father is a Milk Man, Sells Milk as profession and his family has a history of practicing Wrestling. Like everyone else, his father initially wanted him to be a wrestler.

But almighty always has something in his bag, A NRI named Kapur Singh initiated a Golf academy in his village Israna and enrolled the kids living nearby. He bought all the equipments for training and even hired a coach to train the kids. But soon their interest dropped, even the coach left the job, the academy was closed and some of the equipments were given to Shubham by the coach and he told shubham's father that boy has an extraordinary talent.

Shubham continued his practice on a small piece of land in the backyard of his house.  The Land was cleaned up by his father and converted into a green lawn with 3 holes. He used to practice his bunker shots from a cement mixer filled with sand, rehearsed chips near his angaan from a tiny grass strip with holes. He learnt much of his golf by watching experts on You Tube. 

Former golfer Nonita Lall Qureshi who has been training Shubham since he was 7 year old says, "Shubham would spend hours watching video tutorials on the computer. A lot of what he had learnt at that stage was self-taught. For someone just seven years of age, his understanding of the mechanics of golf was phenomenal,". He used to practice golf in fields on weekdays and on weekends he used to go to Karnal Golf Course on a bus to refine and test his game.

But the major decision for the family was to leave everything and move to delhi. The prime support at this stage was provided by The Golf Foundation, a charitable society formed  by golfers who want to donate to the game and help the underprivileged golfers of the country. 

Amit Luthra, former Asian Games gold medalist and Arjuna Award recipient, of The Golf Foundation says that they encouraged their family and provided them basic necessities and even a scooty to travel across in delhi. "We bought them a Hondo Brio because he had to travel with Shubham in NCR. We ensured his father and him got a US visa. And we take care of his expenses in India and abroad," says Luthra. Delhi Golf Club gave hime a 2 Lakh rupees annual scholarship and provided free playing facilities.

Nonita never forgets to point out that Shubham has a clear concept of golf being "a target sport." "Once his drive was just five yards off target and I said, good shot. He said, maam, how can you call that a good shot. He is focused on accuracy and hugely demanding on himself."

Whole Indian Media compares him to Tiger Woods but he states Seve Ballesteros and Gary Player among his idols. He adds Sir APJ Abdul Kalam's words:

"A dream isn't which you see in sleep, but it is something which doesn't let you sleep" 

The best part is his father says,"Shubam sent an iPhone for me from the US and an iPad. I never dreamt of such things. I didn’t know about technology but he told me and pressurised me to operate it. I now have a Facebook account and I manage Whatsapp too. He sends me pictures from US and I also reply him back. He also told me how to operate it. Honestly, I am living the moment."

Tournament director for World Stars, Marty LaRoche, who handed over the winning trophy to Shubham added "There were 360 kids who have participated from 34 countries. Shubham is a winner. But the best thing I liked about him is that he is a better person than a golfer. That is why he is on the top."

Mai Bharat Hoon ... [ मैं भारत हूँ ... ]

Kuch Dino Pahle, Beete somvaar ek Faqeer mila mujhe, Bhikaari ! Bheekh maang raha tha, Mujhse kahta hai, "Kuch Paise de do Sahab !!". 

Maine gusse se dekha aur khaha, "Bheekh kyun maangte ho, sharam nahi aati tumhe, tumhaare jaiso ki hi vajah se bharat itna pichdaa hua hai, Hum tarrakki nahi karte, bharat kaa itna naam badnaam hai ... " 

To vo mujhe rok ke, meri aankhon me dekhta hai aur kehta hai, "SAHAB MAI BHI BHARAT HOON ..."

**********************************************************************************

कुछ दीनो पहले, बीते सोमवार एक फ़क़ीर मिला मुझे, भिकारी ! भीख माँग रहा था, मुझसे कहता है, "कुछ पैसे दे दो साहब !!". 

मैने गुस्से से देखा और कहा, "भीख क्यूँ माँगते हो, शर्म नही आती तुम्हे, तुम्हारे जैसो की ही वजह से भारत इतना पिछड़ा हुआ है, हम तरक्की नही करते, भारत का इतना नाम बदनाम है ... " 

तो वो मुझे रोक के, मेरी आँखों मे देखता है और कहता है, "साहब मैं भी भारत हूँ ..."

Sadak pe baitha mai bharat hoon,

Guroor me aintha mai bharat hoon ||

Kitaabon pe to aazad hoon mai,

Dilon me aabad hoon mai,

Bachpan me kabhi gulaam raha tha,
Jawani ki cheekhti aawaz hoon mai ||

Becha gaya hoon, Khareeda gaya hoon,

Haara bhi hoon, to kabhi jeeta gaya hoon ||

Jaise kuch raheeson ki ek bigadi hui aadat hoon,

Mai Bharat hoon ... Mai Bharat hoon ||

Unhe Kyun dosh dete ho, mai to tumhara bhi gulaam hoon,

Kitne parde lagaoge jo hoon, sare aam hoon ||

Pahle khoon me behta tha, ab nashe me behta mai bharat hoon,

Pahle hothon pe rahta tha, ab pyaalon me rehta mai bharat hoon ||

Jaise ek kamzor neev ki, badi unchi imarat hoon,

Mai Bharat hoon ... Mai Bharat hoon ||

Utha lo mujhe, 

Jaga do mujhe,

Tumhaare haathon me hoon,

Kuch bana do mujhe ||

Sadak pe gale milta hoon,

Par sansad me cheekhta hoon ||

Jaise Kisi Puraani mehbooba ki sharat hoon,

Mai Bharat hoon ... Mai Bharat hoon ||

Uth khada ho, abhi bahut chalna hai hume,

Ek - Ek eenth jodkar, ye desh badalna hai hume ||

Nasha karna hai ! Par Jeet kaa !! Aur Jeetni hai duniya,

Tu Khada to ho, Dekhte hain kitani hai ye duniya ||

Barbaad mat kar mujhe,

Bekaar mat kar mujhe,

Laakhon shaheedon ki shahadat hoon ...

Mai Bharat hoon ... Mai Bharat hoon ||

*******************************************************

सड़क पे बैठा मै भारत हूँ,

गुरूर मे ऐंठा मै भारत हूँ ||

किताबों पे तो आज़ाद हूँ मै,

दिलों में आबाद हूँ मै,

बचपन मे कभी गुलाम रहा था,

जवानी की चीखती आवाज़ हूँ मै ||

बेचा गया हूँ, खरीदा गया हूँ,

हारा भी हूँ, तो कभी जीता गया हूँ ||

जैसे कुछ रहीसों की एक बिगड़ी हुई आदत हूँ,

मैं भारत हूँ ... मैं भारत हूँ ||

उन्हे क्यूँ दोष देते हो, मै तो तुम्हारा भी गुलाम हूँ,

कितने पर्दे लगाओगे जो हूँ, सारेआम हूँ ||

पहले खून में बहता था, अब नशे में बहता मै भारत हूँ,

पहले होठों पे रहता था, अब प्यालों मे रहता मै भारत हूँ ||

जैसे एक कमज़ोर नीव की, बड़ी उँची इमारत हूँ,

मैं भारत हूँ ... मैं भारत हूँ ||

उठा लो मुझे, 

जगा दो मुझे,

तुम्हारे हाथों मे हूँ,

कुछ बना दो मुझे ||

सड़क पे गले मिलता हूँ,

पर संसद मे चीखता हूँ ||

जैसे किसी पुरानी महबूबा की शरारत हूँ,

मैं भारत हूँ ... मैं भारत हूँ ||

उठ खड़ा हो, अभी बहुत चलना है हमें

एक - एक ईंठ जोड़कर, ये देश बदलना है हमें ||

नशा करना है ! पर जीत का !! और जीतनी है दुनिया,

तू खड़ा तो हो, देखते हैं कितनी है ये दुनिया ||

बर्बाद मत कर मुझे,

बेकार मत कर मुझे,

लाखों शहीदों की शहादत हूँ ...

मैं भारत हूँ ... मैं भारत हूँ ||

Xiaomi’s Global Head to attend Vibrant Gujarat Summit …

Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors Summit (VGGIS), 2015, is a three day summit aimed to pool Industrialists, Businessmen, Investors, Entrepreneurs and Government under a single roof. As a part of this summit a “Global CEO conclave” is scheduled to be held at the Pandit Deen Dayal Petroleum University, Gandhinagar, Gujarat on 11th January. This three day summit will be inaugurated by Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi on 11 January itself, Business and Industry delegates of 121 different countries are expected to attend this Summit.

Huggo Barra, The head of Global Operations of Chinese mobile maker Xiaomi, is one of the 33 CEOs who will attend this “Global CEO Conclave.” Huggo Barra is the Ex Google executive and was the face of Android into those Initial years. Xiaomi was recently in news, when Delhi court put restrictions on selling a certain type of Mobile Handsets of Xiaomi, in India due to a patent infringement case. Still, company has recently launched its RedMi Note 4G version and is set to release RedMi Note 2 by the end of January this year in India.

India is being seen as an emerging market for manufacturers as it already has the required buyers,
Supposedly. Vibrant Gujarat Summit, will see many firms from USA, UK, Australia, Russia, Japan, Qatar, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Denmark and many other countries. The summit has been greatly projected as a venue where the government has prepared to showcase the potential of Gujarat in terms of Talent and Eligibility. 

Prominent leaders, who are going to attend the “Global CEO Conclave” are, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim, CEO of Vodafone Group Vittoio Colao, Global VP of Intel Corporation John Davies, Group Vice President of Ford Motors David Schoch, CEO of RasGas, Chairman & CEO of Suzuki Motor Corporation and Many others.

Vibrant Gujarat Summit is an initiative by the state Government to lure the Investors and Industrialists around the world and invite them to “pool in their money” in Gujarat & India. This has been seen closely in relation with government’s Make In India campaign. Vibrant summit will tell stories of Small Firms of India, that how they managed to become a National OR Global producers and exporters, starting from a “One room Factory”.

“There are two objectives. One, to encourage small and medium enterprises, to tell them the details of evolution of manufacturing units. Second, to fetch fund and technology from visiting foreign industry leaders for the local industries.”

This will be the 7th edition of this summit, which was started in 2003 by Mr. Modi himself. Modi Government at the Central as well has been talking about Development, Good Governance and Policy Reforms on daily basis. Allowing FDI in Insurance and very recently, easing the Land Acquisition Bill, weakening the norms of Land Acquisition, evidently shows government soul moto to boost the Manufacturing and Infrastructure sector. Reportedly government has reduced a hefty amount of 15,000 crore from the Rural Development schemes, and using the same in various Infrastructure development projects.

Balaji Wafers Pvt. Ltd., which from one small shop of Wafers and Sandwich in a crowded chowk, has turned into a major producer of wafers and other snacks as well and are exporting outside Gujarat as well. The story of “Chakkado” auto makers, Exporter and Manufacturer of textile chemicals Harsha Engineers Ltd. And Tiles manufacturers and exporters, Asia Granito, are among the 9 companies that have been chosen to be showcased to various leaders.

The steps taken by the government are no doubt a clear indication of its Policies and vision. The development and success of this summit clearly shows that Why Gujarat is among the very few states in India that have a high growth rate. Globalization has always been the key to development and Government’s agenda to bring Global Leaders into the country and showcase our talents and projects indeed is a good step forward.

Lived Short, But Lived like a King …

Dhoni has always been known for his keen sense of Timing, and he proved it again. Losing 6th consecutive series overseas, he sensed that things are rumbling. He is someone, who listens to his heart always, And this decision proves the worth. For all those who seem pretty much astonished on his retirement from tests, he himself declared, during the Australian series in 2012, that by the end of 2013 he will quit Test Cricket. Fortunately OR Unfortunately he took another year. 

I personally respect Dhoni, for just one reason, He challenged everyone sitting in every newsroom of the country and “Did”, what others could just talk about, Everytime. 

Raina tweeted yesterday that – “Valiant while you led. Valiant in your departure”, Indeed, Attitude of one’s teammates, reflects his leadership. 

Dhoni was discovered via the BCCI’s small-town talent - spotting initiative, ‘Talent Resource Development Wing’, by PC Podar, former captain of a Bengal side in the 1960s. He worked as a ticket collector at the Kharagpur Railway station for 3 years to support his family. He has been honored with the prestigious rank of Lt. Colonel by the Indian Army. He made India, world champions in all formats of cricket still if somebody says that he ran from responsibilities by declaring his retirement, when just one match is left in this series, So that he may not lose a damn record of highest no. of test defeats by an Indian Test Captain; May God Bless your judgmental Skills.

Dhoni has always been the unpredictable, He always chose the least favourable path and attained victory. He has always been different from others, and the number of trophies on his shoulder answers, Why!

We all are aware about the habitual Indian Media, They make you a king if the direction of wind is on your side, and you will soon become more than a terrorist if you did something unbearable and Failed. Let this dhoni win the World Cup 2015, and the same Times of India, who published an article today saying that he is running from responsibilities, will write an entire 2 page graphical representation, praising his leadership skills. And of he didn’t, then we all know the reaction, “It’s for Dhoni to even leave ODIs.”

Sachin Tendulkar tweeted yesterday – “Well done on a wonderful career in test cricket. Always enjoyed playing together. Next target 2015 WC My Friend !!”. Can’t you sense the amount of Gratitude, Wisdom and Faith in this tweet.

He lived short in test cricket, But yes he lived like a King. Grant me a sorry on saying this, but he took his glamour and charm along with him. Not like others who were molested by BCCI & Indian Media to leave captaincy. By the time he was there on the batting order, amongst the “remaining batsman”, we had faith, that a Magic can Happen. He came like a Prince and went Like a King, given throne respectfully to a New Prince.

• Dhoni Holds the record of most wins as a captain in Tests for India (27).
• He has scored 3,454 runs as test captain, most by any Indian Captain.
• He made the highest score in an innings by an Indian Captain (224).
• He has most sixes by an Indian Captain (51).
• Has the most no. of consecutive wins by an Indian Captain (6).
• He also has the most dismissals by an Indian Keeper (294).

Under DHoni’s captaincy Indian team became the first team to white wash the Australia in a Test Series after 20 years. No doubt the best Indian Captain so far, and still if someone says that he ran from responsibilities, Again; May God Bless Your Judgmental Skills.

“Didn’t wait for 100 tests, finished on 90. Didn’t asked for last test in India. Didn’t announced before the last test, for farewell. #MSD #RESPECT” – was a random tweet yesterday.

He is Simple, Elegant and carries a Personality: Like a King. God Bless You my Friend, there are many Glorious Victories coming towards you, Trust me on that.

10 Things That Indians Do, Just Because others are Doing …

The Incredible Country, With a diverse variety of People and Tastes. I have tried to highlight some of the points, that People in India Follow, Just Because others are doing them. Add Your Own, If I have missed any and Share It. ;)

1. Branded Clothing: You know, on the streets of Lucknow and Delhi one can find clothes at very low cost yet of superior quality. They are not Branded but they can beat any brand in terms of quality. We Indians buy clothes with very high price tag, Unnecessarily. We assume quality by looking at the price tag.

2. Buy Smart Phones, To Use Whatsapp or Play SubwaySurfer: The Only reason why 90% of people around me have bought a 20,000 ruppees phone, is to use whatsapp, click selfies or play candycrush. Well, Smart Phones are actually meant to do some Smart Stuff. -_-

3. No Shave November: The campaign was recently started from the west for Cancer Awarenerss. The Idea of the campaign was to save money that we spend on grooming and hair styling in one month, and then donate it for Cancer Treatment and Awareness. But We, as always, made our own version of it. We updated our cover pics, profile pictures just for the sake of doing it.

4. Calling Indian Rupee as Bucks: Not all currencies can be called as ‘bucks’. You dare to speak it in front of a tourist from USA, and he will give you the worst expression you have ever seen. 

1$ is called a buck because, in older times, the skin of deer that was sold in US was of 1 dollar. From there, the word for 1$ came i.e. "Buck".

5. Hypocrisy and Following what others are doing: Let it be Death of Paul Walker, Michael Jackson, Retirement of Sachin Tendulkar, “Abki Baar Modi Sarkaar” OR the recent Peshwar attacks. 95% of the people actually don’t know the basis and actual reasons of these events, but they start following it just because others are doing. It looks Cool You see.

You Know, Michael Jackson was the most searched personality in India on Google, The week he died. And I remember how certainly, soon everyone became the ultimate fan of Michael Jackson.

The similar case with 'Modi sarkar', None knew the policies of BJP OR what BJP has done, they started following just because others are doing. [No offenses to Modi Sarkaar, I myself support them, the point is knowing what you are doing.]

6. Tuesdays, Saturdays, Black Cat & The Lizard: We probably are the king of superstitions. No haircut, No nail cutter, No egg, No Non Veg. The Ultimate days. A Black Cat crossing our way and A lizard falling on our head can probably change our decisions.


7. I am an Entrepreneur: This is the new talk of the town. People Become Entrepreneurs (using their parent's wealth), Just to update their Social Media profiles as CEOs, It sounds cool Yo! 

8. My Hobby is Reading Novels & I have read just Chetan Bhagat: This one is my favourite. I have met 100s of people in past some years whose hobby have been to Read Novels. Next question you ask them, “So what all books have  you read ?” and the Reply, “Five Point Someone, 2 States and The Half Girlfriend.” People find something stylish in expressing “Reading” as their Hobby, But all they have read is Chetan Bhagat.

9. English Tracks: I have no offences with people Listening Punk or Rock or Trans. But that doesn’t mean who listens to “Jagjit Singh, Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi” are old school. The point is that most of the people listening to Foreign Music, Neither understand the Lyrics nor they have any information about the class or type of Artist. They just do it because others are doing it.


10. Drinking & Bragging about it: If someone can drink 10 cans of Beer he is Solid. They will brag it throughout the next day among the whole friend circle, as if they have done something out of the world, That should be applauded and others can’t do it.
