Parag Agarwal in a club of Indian-origin executives running global companies


Washington, D.C.
As CEO of Twitter, Parag Agarwal has joined the power club of Indian-origin executives managing US-based global multinationals. Jack Dorsey, co-founding CEO of outgoing Twitter, said that 2-year-old Parag Agarwal, a former student of IIT Mumbai and Stanford University, would be the new CEO of the company. With this, Parag Agarwal is the fifth Indian to run an American multinational company.
Mumbai-born 9-year-old Parag Agarwal has become the youngest CEO in the world's top 500 companies, with the CEO of Twitter. Satya Nadella, CEO of US multinationals Microsoft, Shantanu Narayan of Adobe, Arvind Krishna of IBM and Parag Agarwal, the new boss of Twitter, have now joined the list of Sundar Pichai of Alphabet (Google).
According to a Bloomberg report, the market value of these companies is estimated at Rs 500,000 crore, more than double India's GDP. India's GDP is currently estimated at ૭ 4.5 trillion. Indra Nooyi has led PepsiCo for almost 15 years, among other US multinationals that have been led by Indians other than technology. Ajay Banga, former CEO of MasterCard, is currently the Executive Chairman.
According to a report in the New York Times, Parag Agarwal is not only known in public but also on Twitter. His appointment came as a surprise to many on Twitter. However, Pollen was closely linked to several of the company's larger strategic initiatives. Parag Agarwal was instrumental in Twitter's efforts to provide a platform for cryptocurrencies for sending tips to users in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. He further spoke in support of the US Alliance, but said that maintaining some independence was not the answer. He also asked the company to admit that the photo-cropping algorithm was discriminatory.
According to a New York Times report, Agarwal will receive an annual salary of US ૧૦ 1 million. In addition you will receive bonuses, controlled stock units and performance based stock units. There is a lot of talk about the importance of having a company under the leadership of the founder, said Jack Dorsey. But I think it's time to dump her and move on. This is the right time to resign and one of the main reasons for this is that Parag is going to be the CEO of Twitter. The board has selected Pollen as CEO after extensive discussion.
Parag Agarwal, who joined Twitter a decade ago, was previously the Chief Technology Officer (CTO). "Twitter has made tremendous progress this decade," he said. Our purpose has never been more important. Our people and our culture can be anyone in the world. There is no limit to what we can do. The whole world is watching us today. This indicates that what we are doing is very important.
