- Microsoft to launch Surface Pro 4 in India in January 2016.
- An India-specific cloud service.
- Work is not a place you go to, work is when you make things happen where you are.
- I am amazed at the energy and ingenuity in India, says the India-born CEO
- “Every successful company has a core. For us it is about empowering every person to achieve more. We have three interlocking ambitions. First is about reinvention of productivity and business processes. Work isn’t a solo experience anymore. The idea of harnessing the power to network is what we want to do with our services.”
- Discussing Hololens, an upcoming product, Nadella said, “Think about the change in landscape this will bring in architecture, healthcare etc. If I had the power of Hololens growing up as an Electrical Engineer, I would’ve understood Maxwell’s equations better!”
- StaffPad, according to Nadella, had a big fan in A.R. Rahman.
