The Indian CEOs are contributing to the supply chain management. And Indian CEOs understand the geopolitical conflicts. The trade patterns and geopolitical impact are volatile. Elon Musk expressed in a recent conversation that CEOs of Indian origin are leading the top tech and non-tech companies. The list is increasing in numbers. The followers of Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX commented that the Indians are hard-working people. One of his followers commented that India is the CEO of the moon’s southern pole marking the victory of Chandrayaan. The conversation is a glimpse that conveys the message that Indians are valued in the global market. The marketable skills of the Indians thrust the global companies to invest in India. Education and training is the sector that creates the top professionals and grabs the attention of the world population in India. Technology and finance professionals become the top CEOs.
