From Challenge to Triumph: The Inspiring Success Story of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella

By – Anant Kumar

Welcome to another success story. Today, we are covering the success story of Satya Nadella (CEO of Microsoft), a person who is super motivated and doing incredible world-changing work. Since he is the role model for billions of people around the world, we thought, why don’t we look at his life story.

Microsoft was on a hunt for the successor of long-time CEO Steve Ballmer. It was a critical time for the company as the sales were in the slums. The five-month-long time hunt ended with all of the board members agreeing on Satya Nadella to take over as the next CEO of Microsoft. At the time, the company was facing tough competition from Apple and Samsung, it was Nadella who came up with the idea to take the company to the next level.

Satya Nadella is an Indian-born American CEO (chief executive officer) of the worlds’ most leading computer software company Microsoft, who replaced billionaire Steve Ballmer as CEO in 2014.

“My father looked at my grades and was amazed as to how someone could be so bad! But he said, ‘it’s a marathon. You will catch up.’ My mother’s only question to me was ‘are you happy?’.”

Early on, he made a goal for a career far from the tech domain: professional cricket “Team sport teaches you about leadership,” he says. “Once, I was bowling trash for the high-school team and the Capitan took over, got a wicket-a big breakthrough – and returned the ball to me. I went on to the best bowling spell in my life! it was a leadership decision he made, to not break my confidence.”
