The Hyderabad-born CEO has always been a staunch advocate for the role of AI in solving global challenges, reaffirming Microsoft’s commitment to India. Under his leadership, the company has already made significant strides in India with various AI-powered initiatives that aim to improve productivity, empower businesses, and provide solutions for societal issues such as agricultural sustainability and healthcare access in remote areas.
In January 2024, Nadella announced Microsoft’s new skilling investment in India to empower people and organizations to thrive in the AI era. The investment will see Microsoft provide 2 million people in India with AI skilling opportunities by 2025 through its ADVANTA(I)GE INDIA initiative.
Furthermore, Microsoft is fortifying India's rapidly expanding developer community, which will allow them to develop products and services that are not only intended for the domestic market but also for a global audience. The company’s AI-powered platform, GitHub, plays a central role in fostering these innovations.
