There were many influences on me while growing up. In the late Seventies and early Eighties when I was growing up in Hyderabad, it was a bit more laid-back, and that gave you time to think about things differently without perhaps being caught up in the narrow approach to one's journey through life.

To me, Microsoft is about empowerment... we are the original democratizing force, putting a PC in every home and every desk.

Human language is the new UI layer, bots are like new applications, and digital assistants are meta apps. Intelligence is infused into all of your interactions.

When I think about my career, my successes are built on learning from failures.

The strange thing was, when I was starting on YouTube, even the paradigm of YouTube and Internet sensation - or whatever - that didn't really exist. So I didn't even know that that was a thing.

With faster Internet and better computers, you'd better believe we're creating and consuming more digital data.

Over the years, the Internet has been going down the path of becoming a more personalized experience.

Even in developing markets, we're seeing the growth of digital communication is proceeding at a very rapid pace.
