After Zuckerberg, Nadella and Pichai to visit India before the year ends

Satya Nadella and Sundar Pichai, the Indian-origin CEOs of world's largest technology companies Microsoft and Google, respectively, are going to visit India this month.

Pichai, accompanied by Google’s senior global executives, will be here in the coming week or next, marking his first international visit after becoming the CEO. In the two days that he would be here, he would be outlining his Indian vision for the coming years. Pichai, 43, is likely to deliver the keynote address at the ‘Google for India’ event on December 16 in New Delhi. He's also expected to share the plans that Google has for India, which happens to be one of its largest growth markets.

Pichai would also be attending a dinner at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, which would be hosted by President Pranab Mukherjee. Meeting PM Modi is also on his cards. The two have already met when Modi visited Silicon Valley in September.

Nadella came to India just a month ago to attend Microsoft's flagship Future Unleashed event and meet key customers, partners and developers. However, this time, this is more of a personal trip, quite like last year when he visited during the Christmas and New Year holidays.

In the recent past, India has seen frequent visits by top global executives, including Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Like Zuckerberg, Pichai has plans to host an open house session with Indian students; however, instead of IIT, his choice is likely to be Delhi University.
