Indians in global tech roles a ‘net positive’ for India; China a ‘force’, says Cisco’s Jeetu Patel

The growing number of Indian-origin leaders at the helm of major global technology companies should not be viewed through the prism of brain drain, but as a “net positive” for both India and the world, said Jeetu Patel, President and Chief Product Officer of Cisco.

Addressing the debate on whether India loses out when its top talent rises to leadership roles in the United States and other advanced economies, Patel rejected the zero-sum framing.
