NEW DELHI: IIT Madras alumni Pavan Davuluri has been appointed as the new head of Microsoft Windows and Surface. Davuluri assumed the role following the departure of Panos Panay, who previously led the department. Notably, Microsoft had split the Windows and Surface groups, each under separate leadership.
Previously, Davuluri oversaw Surface silicone work while Mikhail Parakhin led the Windows department. However, with Parakhin’s wish to explore new roles, Davuluri has taken responsibility for both Windows and Surface.
Davuluri has an Indian connection. He graduated from the prestigious IIT Madras. With his new position, he joins the ranks of Indians in leadership roles in tech companies in the US, alongside figures like Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella, amongst others.
