3. Q2 B) Summaries the following passage in about 100 words and give title. If we Indians are starved of things to feel proud about, the appointment of Satya Nadella as the CEO of the iconic Microsoft has give us a reason to take pride in the success of a fellow Indian. Not only is Satya Indian by birth, he went to ordinary schools and colleges, got to the top on his.own merit and, most of all, remained a nice, normal and humble guy. We can relate to Satya and his journey in a way that we can’t relate to, say, Steve jobs or Bill Gates, and that’s what is so inspiring. In success, we see the possibility of our own success. At a time where young people are looking for role models to emulate, Satya is certainly a wonderful one. However, at least one commentator has stirred a hornet’s nest by asking if Satya’s success is, in fact, a slap in our face. Could Satya have become the CEO of a major Indian company? Or did he have to leave India to succeed? Corporate India is dominated by family businesses. The right genes are still an important requisite for ultimate success. But this is changing slowly. Even promoters are slowly ceding the CEO job to loyal professionals. There are a handful of important companies where shareholding is diversified and that have had professional CEOs for a long time: the Tata group, HDFC, ICICI, L& T, for example.
