The rulers of cyberspace  How did the Indians preside over the largest technology companies?

With the recent appointment of the Indian Parag Agrawal at the head of Twitter, the Indians have tightened their control over most of the American technology giants, which opens the door wide to several questions, perhaps the most important of which are: What is the magic recipe of the Indians that enables them to reach such positions?

Earlier on Monday, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced that he was stepping down at the helm of one of the social media giants he founded in 2006, leaving the helm to Indian Parag Agrawal, who had reached the position of chief technical officer of the company after joining it in 2011.

Parag Agrawal is an American of Indian origin and holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University and a Bachelor's degree from the College of Technology in Bombay, India. Upon taking office, the 37-year-old Agrawal became the youngest CEO to join the S&P 500 club.

Perhaps the technology sector is one of the most prominent examples of India being a source of the best CEOs in the world, as 6 of the largest technology companies, ranging from “Google” and “Microsoft”, through “Adobe” “IBM” to “Palo Alto Networks”, And now Twitter, they all have in common that they are run by CEOs of Indian origin.

Export executives

In addition to being famous for its spices and Bollywood films, as well as for its exotic and diverse religion, in recent years India has become a first exporter of the best doctors, engineers and technology professionals to all countries of the world, specifically the United States and Britain. In her book "A Nation of Genius: How Indian Science Is Dominating the World," author and researcher Angela Saini says: "India is a nation of genius, hard-working and skilled, as one in five of all medical workers in the United Kingdom is of Indian origin. One-third of the engineers working in Silicon Valley are of Indian origin, and Indians run 750 technology companies.

In response to Stripe CEO Patrick Collison's tweet that 6 American tech giants are now run by Indian-origin CEOs, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said, "The US benefits hugely from Indian talent! ".

First seed

The main credit for producing this huge number of scientists, inventors and engineers goes to Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India after its independence in 1947, who believed that the way to draw India to the rational and scientific side away from the swamp of myths and spirituality lies in the development and development of the field of science and technology in the country.

As the researcher Saini sees, India has become a "nation of geniuses" and has imposed its hegemony on the world in many scientific aspects thanks to the scientific projects and facilities founded by Jawaharlal Nehru. "India may be the cradle of knowledge," says Saini. "The Indians used decimals and algebra several centuries before the Western world."

India today has 16 institutes of technology spread across the country with the main objective of educating and training the country's young talented engineers and inventors, who have contributed to the start-ups of California's Silicon Valley companies in recent years.

Experts expect that the Indian dominance of technology and technology will escalate in the coming years, given that 6% of the workforce in Silicon Valley is Indian, and among them, more than 15% are founders of start-ups in the United States of America. While the study by Professor Vivek Wadhua found that nearly a third of start-up companies in the United States are founded by Indians, a proportion that exceeds the seven immigrant races that follow them, combined.

Magic recipe

Indians did not take high positions in major technology companies at once, but their success was gradual, after almost all of them moved up the career ladder until they reached the head of the product and development departments, during which they demonstrated their efficiency and high professionalism in finding the latest ideas and innovations and taking risks in order to applied in practice.

Despite their strong education and high degrees in their respective disciplines, the reason they hold these positions is not only because of their certificates and qualifications, but the Indian culture plays a pivotal role in helping them build a successful management model, and this is due to the point of view of Venkatesh Shukla, President of the Silicon Valley Chapter For the Indus Entrepreneurs Organization, the Indian nation greatly values ​​both competition and individual humility.

While some studies have linked India’s success in the technological field to the nature of education, as the engineering colleges and institutes of technology spread throughout the country, contributed to the production of an experienced generation characterized by enthusiasm, and perseverance, whose roots are in India and its branches outside it in Silicon Valley, where they hone their skills in a way that helps them to reach To the top of companies and projects.

Qatar: We are working with Turkey to rehabilitate Kabul Airport and seek to establish security and stability

Qatar's Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani said Saturday that his country is working with Turkey on the rehabilitation of the Afghan capital Kabul airport.

This came during the Qatari minister's virtual participation in the Rome Med Forum, which started on Thursday and ends on Saturday in the Italian capital.

In another context, Qatar's foreign minister said that "Russia, China and the countries of the region have legitimate concerns about any tension that might occur in Afghanistan."

He pointed out that his country is communicating with Russia, as it is a partner in establishing stability in Afghanistan.

He continued, "The security situation in Afghanistan raises concerns among neighboring countries and countries in the region, and there is no clear strategy for the international community to deal with the situation in Afghanistan."

He stressed that Qatar is exploiting its wide network of friendships to establish security and stability in the region.

He added: "Dialogue must be strengthened and the root causes of the problems must be dealt with in order to establish stability in the region."

And in the middle of last August, the Taliban movement took control of Afghanistan completely, coinciding with a final stage of a US military withdrawal from the country that was completed at the end of the same month.

The countries of the world are still reluctant to recognize the rule of the Taliban, and link this to the behavior of the movement, especially respect for human rights and not allowing terrorists to operate in the country.
