TIL Desk/Business/New York-Four leading India-born CEOs including Microsoft’s Satya Nadella and Mastercard’s Ajay Banga who delivered big in taking their companies ahead have featured in Fortune’s Businessperson of the Year list topped by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Nadella has been ranked fifth among 50 global corporate heads by Fortune magazine in its annual ‘Businessperson of the Year’ compilation, followed by CEO of Milwaukee-based maker of water heaters A O Smith, Ajita Rajendra, on the 34th spot, HDFC Bank’s Managing Director Aditya Puri on the 36th position and Banga on 40th.
Zuckerberg took home the annual honour of Businessperson of the Year, with Fortune saying his success rests on three pillars of “his unique ability to look into the future, his otherworldly consistency, and the business discipline he has nurtured in an industry quite often enamored with bright, shiny objects”. The 2016 list includes “star executives with wildly varying styles and approaches, but one thing in common: They deliver, big-time,” Fortune said.
