At the point when Satya Nadella was a kid, his dad hung a tremendous notice of Karl Marx in his room so as to push him towards instruction. In retaliation, his mother hung a larger picture of Lakshmi to remind him to be happy in whatever he does. While the kid in Nadella did not know what he wanted, he has become a source of inspiration to kids all over the world.

MULTITASKING WITHOUT HANGING

While working at Microsoft, Satya being a multi-tasker was also pursuing his Master's degree. Normally, in such situations, a person chooses either of the ones, but Satya decided to do both simultaneously. He used to fly out from Redmond on Friday nights for classes at the University of Chicago and then come back. What's more, in all honesty, following this daily schedule, Satya figured out how to finish his Masters in Business Administration in only over two years.

SAME MAN, DIFFERENT DESIGNATIONS
In his working spell of 22 years with Microsoft; from President of the Server and Tools Division, Senior Vice-President of Research and Development for the Online Services Division, Vice-President of the Business Division, Corporate Vice-President of Business Solutions and Search and Advertising Platform Group, to being the Executive Vice-President of Cloud and Enterprise gathering, he has experienced different positions and seen the organization through various verticals.

THE CEO

After a great deal of buzz around the subject, on the 4thof February 2014, it was at long last revealed that Satya Nadella would be the 3rdChief Executive, succeeding Steve Ballmer. Around the same time, John W. Thompson assumed the job of Chairman, while Bill Gates ventured down from that position.

One of Satya's first significant assignments was to finished the $7.2 billion obtaining of Nokia Corp's. cell phone business, which shut in April 2014. Not long after from that point onward, the man likewise went on to lay-off 18,000 representatives most of which were from Nokia. This was likewise known to be the biggest lay-off in the historical backdrop of Microsoft.

INTRODUCTION TO CLOUD – SATYA
Presently relatively few realize that for quite a long time Microsoft never used to focus on how the cloud was developing and was starting to pull in the imagination of new-age designers. So when he assumed control over the division, he made a point to change that viewpoint. He did as such, by gathering with new companies and understanding their requirements from Microsoft.

Under his initiative, the income the organization earned from Cloud Services bounced straight from $16.6 billion (2011) to $20.3 billion (2013). He was additionally in charge of bringing Microsoft's database, Windows Server and designer apparatuses to its Azure cloud.

SATYA TRANSFORMS MICROSOFT
When Nadella first took over, the company was still trying to cope with the fact that its expensive acquisition, Nokia, was a failure. He ended up axing that fairly quickly, but the new CEO also followed up with other choice purchases.

Minecraft was a really expensive buy at the time, costing them $2.5 billion, but the revenue from the popular game has helped keep them afloat for years, including in the education market of all places. LinkedIn was also a smart purchase, contributing both revenue and users at a steady rate.

GitHub meanwhile may not have been the most profitable buy for the company. But what Nadella chose to sacrifice as revenue he gained in invaluable measure: a way to connect directly with developers. And since they've switched their stance on open-source products like Linux, they've gained trust too.

It's through all of these small changes that Satya Nadella has managed to bring Microsoft back from the brink of collapse, and turn it into a trillion-dollar company.

Buckle sufficiently down, dream sufficiently long and make constantly. These are the three things that Satya Nadella has dependably trusted in and in the event that we do likewise, we could likewise try to be the place he is at today!
