X
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella once sacrificed his Green Card for the love of his life. After marrying Anu in 1993, He wished to bring his wife to US to start a family but the norms of Green Card didn't allow it. So, He decided to let go the Green Card and applied for H-1B Visa which allows life partners to stay in US.

The Microsoft CEO revealed Kunal Bahl, who was his colleague at Microsoft, quit the job and returned to India after failing to get Green Card before his H-1B Visa tenure ended. Later, Kunal Bahl founded Snapdeal which is now worth over $1 billion and employees 500 people. Mr. Nadella believes Cloud-based Firms like Snapdeal will play an important role in the growth of Microsoft in future.

In his Teenage Days, Satya Nadella have goals like studying in a small college, playing cricket for Hyderabad and getting a bank job. While his Mother was happy with his choices, His Father asked him to think beyond Hyderabad. He claims to have never thought of studying Engineering and visiting US.

In his book 'Hit Refresh' which released on Tuesday, Satya Nadella mentioned about the prominent personalities who studied along with him in Hyderabad Public School.
