Reportedly Microsoft's indian origin CEO satya Nadella on monday voiced concern over the contentious citizenship amendment act (CAA), saying what is happening is "sad" and he would love to see a Bangladeshi immigrant create the next unicorn in India. As per report his comments came while speaking to editors at a microsoft event in Manhattan where he was asked about the contentious issue of caa which grants citizenship to persecuted non-Muslim minorities from pakistan, bangladesh and Afghanistan.
The Editor-in-Chief of New York-based BuzzFeed news said "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," Nadella was quoted as saying by Ben Smith. Perhaps in a statement issued by microsoft india, Nadella said: "Every country will and should define its borders, protect national security and set immigration policy accordingly. And in democracies, that is something that the people and their governments will debate and define within those bounds.
Apparently "I'm shaped by my indian heritage, growing up in a multicultural india and my immigrant experience in the United States. My hope is for an india where an immigrant can aspire to found a prosperous start-up or lead a multinational corporation benefitting indian society and the economy at large". Moreover there have been differing reactions to Nadella's statement. Also tv Mohandas Pai said Nadella is very confused in his statement and asked him to not make comments that malign India.
