According to a Forbes list of the 250 most successful living immigrants in America, timed with the country's upcoming 250th anniversary, India claims the top spot with twenty-six Indian-born leaders, outperforming historical immigrant powerhouses like Canada and the United Kingdom. The article notes that political rhetoric surrounding immigration is hostile, with fees for H-1B visas climbing and green card backlogs stretching into decades. It highlights that Indian-origin leaders dominate not only tech, with examples like Sundar Pichai, who grew up in Chennai and moved to America to study at Stanford, and Satya Nadella, who took over Microsoft in 2014, but also consumer goods, infrastructure, and heavy finance. Indra Nooyi, former CEO of PepsiCo, nearly doubled the company’s sales during her tenure. Rajiv Jain heads GQG Partners, an investment firm managing over $162 billion in assets. Rakesh Gangwal served as the CEO of US Airways Group.
