Indians are one of the largest leaders of innovation in Silicon Valley and America’s tech industry cannot survive without them.
According to the CEO of the Silicon Valley Central Chamber of Commerce, Harbir K Bhatia, the latest available data showed that Indians were leaders of innovation in Silicon Valley. “At one point the data was collected, according to which, 40 per cent of Silicon Valley CEOs or founders were from South Asia or India. That is so huge,” she said.
Located in Santa Clara, the hub of Silicon Valley, the Chamber of Commerce is made up of a group of visionary business leaders from multiple cities that help grow and shape the future of Silicon Valley.
Bhatia pointed out that Indians are heading all the major corporations like Google, YouTube, Google Foundation and Microsoft. When asked about the relationship that Silicon Valley has with India, she said, India has played a key role in its success.
“America brings some of the brightest minds from India. Indians can thrive in any profession be it tech, farming or healthcare,” Bhatia said. Praising Indian ingenuity, Bhatia mentioned the concept of ‘jugaad’, a frugal and flexible approach to problem-solving, stating, “If there’s a problem, put a desi on it, you’ll find a solution. Indians are great at finding solutions,” according to PTI.
