Book preview

Four things which Satya Nadella believes in advertently, as insiders point out.

First, people who know Satya Nadella, say in private, he spends a lot of his free time at his aquarium. Nadella specifically spends a lot of time with his pet goldfishes which keep swimming furiously bobbin up and down inside the tank but are going nowhere inside the small aquarium filled with fake flora. Nadella says that he learnt a lot about people looking at goldfishes.

Goldfishes which are shiny and attractive have famously short-term memory. If you own a goldfish, you know that you have to be very careful about how much you feed these types of fishes. Because a goldfish will eat as much as you give it, till it bloats and passes away, you have to be very careful.

Nadella says that with increasing use of technology, people’s attention spans and memories have reduced and become like Goldfish. So, he believes if you speak confidently and have your allies in your paid media networks repeating what you say, you can continue to peddle lies and half-truths without caring about what you said on the same topic a while back or being answerable about why you changed tack now.

Second, Satya Nadella’s children had special needs with his son, Zain who passed away recently unable to live a normal life and his daughters have health issues as well which created huge anxiety for Satya and his wife.

But according to Satya, no one bothered to support him from his professional network and many in his extended family also make derogatory comments against him saying his children’s health was a reflection of his karma.

Satya who was academically weak was admitted to an American university where the cold weather during winter months made Nadella who was used to the warm and moderate climate of his home town, very miserable. Being a person of Indian origin with interest in cricket which is less popular in United States, Nadella struggled to socialize and date girls during his university years.

After graduating, Satya went to California to work mainly to escape the cold weather and snow.

Satya had to suffer a lot after his children were born and used to cry a lot in private where he wondered what sins he had done due to which his children were born with special needs and he could not go to bars and enjoy night life and after-office parties like others did.

He realized that in the end that no one cares about you
