AP Herald is a dubious tabloid website and has no authenticity while eenadu is the largest circulated Telugu daily newspaper in the entire world. Not even a close contest. Highly recommend adding the eenadu reference 38 to the Telugu Family word in the early life. Pray tell us Marchoctober as to what is the overwhelming evidence that Nadella is a Brahmin.

The following sentence is wrong. B. N. Yugandhar, hailing from Krishna District of Andhra Pradesh, India. Also the following thing: Home town Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh, India.[3]
Here is the correct sentence: B. N. Yugandhar, hailing from Anantapur District of Andhra Pradesh, India. Home town Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh, India.
Here is the proof and explanation:
Satya Nadella's father, B.N. Yugandhar hails from 'Bukkapuram village in Yellanur Mandal of Anantapur District, Rayala Seema Region, Andhra Pradesh state, India
All vernacular (Telugu) media (Eenadu, Andhra Jyothy, Sakshi) published these details in their newspapers on Feb 05th, 2014.

Currently the article states, "Nadella was born in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, in a Telugu family to an IAS officer, B. N. Yugandhar, from Bukkapuram village in Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh. who was a member of the Planning Commission during 2004–2009 under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh."
1. Is it normal for English Wikipedia that a person is born "to" the father, and with no mention of the mother? RenniePet ( talk) 06:21, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
2. Are the father's later exploits, long after Mr. Nadella had moved to the USA, really relevant? I'd suggest simply removing the phrase "who was a member of the Planning Commission during 2004–2009 under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.". Or at least make it a separate sentence in parenthesis - except that Wikipedia style discourages use of parenthesis, right? RenniePet ( talk) 06:21, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

In my opinion, the CEO of Microsoft section of this article needs a re-write. He's been on the job for 8 months. I visited this article to read up on the types of changes Satya Nadella is making to Microsoft, what his leadership vision is, what investors think of his strategy, and what direction the company is going in. Instead I get 5 paragraphs of feminism and 0 paragraphs about what he is actually doing at the company. I would suggest reducing the feminism down to 1-2 paragraphs, then adding 3+ paragraphs about the actions that Nadella is taking as CEO. What is his vision for Windows 10? What acquisitions has Microsoft made under his leadership (Nokia, Minecraft, etc.)? Is Microsoft going to continue on this tablet-centric path that Ballmer embarked them on or is Nadella steering them back toward the traditional PC market? – Novem Lingvae ( talk) 19:39, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

An editor recently reverted my edit "India-born, naturalized American" in the lead, with edit summary "not essential for notability" or words to that effect. This mention of country of birth, is in fact par for the lead. See Saul Bellow (who left Quebec for Chicago at age nine), Albert Einstein (who renounced his German citizenship at age 17), V. S. Naipaul (who left Trinidad at age 17). In Nadella's case, his American citizenship (which is mentioned in the lead, and less relevant to his notability than his previous Indian-) is relatively recent.

I did this edit and removed the controversy section:
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Satya_Nadella&type=revision&diff=745796468&oldid=745740772
This incident is just way out of proportions. He gave a silly remark, and after realising it was silly he offered an apology. Case closed. If we are going to use that much space on a tiny incident like this, then the article in total should be some 1,000+ pages in order to give due weight to the rest of the guy's work.
So this is not removed due to lack of sources (seems backed up by good in-line references) and its not because I am against equal pay for females (I am and I do strongly believe any sane person is), but this is just a tiny detail in a long career.

Hi I noticed that even though it's been over 6 months since Satya Nadella became the CEO there's nothing here about how he is doing (professionally ofc) in his capacity. Have there been no notable comments about this in reliable sources (e.g analyses of his decisions, etc) yet? 83.8.238.36 ( talk) 12:04, 27 September 2014 (UTC)Piotrek
By conceding Windows phone and winding down Lumia, he has conceded that Microsoft is going to be a business only company at some point in the future. This was a terrible long term decision because the phone will drive the desktop OS for a lot of people. It would have been better and cheaper to pay the carriers to promote the phones during the ramp up and 2.) Pay top app providers (snap chat) to offer windows phone apps. Also, they really need to focus on doing fewer things better (One drive comes to mind). But at least they have cool new picture viewers every 6 months. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:300B:728:AA00:C12B:D325:82EE:8DBF ( talk) 20:40, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi, folks. The article is noticeably lacking in what Nadella actually did during his tenure as CEO. I'm an experienced editor, but have a WP:COI, so I'm reluctant to actually push the writing live myself. Could someone who doesn't have a COI, please do these two things? (Editing this section will show the wiki code that I'm requesting.)
1. (small) in the template {{ Infobox person}}, in the Lead (top) of the article, please add the line:
| boards =
2. (substantial) in the Microsoft section, please replace the line:
In the two years that have since passed, Nadella is viewed as having done well, [3] with the Microsoft stock having risen more than 60% since he took over. [4]
with
Nadella changed the company’s direction after becoming CEO. His tenure has emphasized openness to working with companies and technologies with which Microsoft also competes, including Apple Inc., [5] Salesforce, [6] IBM, [7] and Dropbox. [8] In contrast to previous Microsoft campaigns against the Linux operating system, Nadella proclaimed that "Microsoft ♥ Linux", [9] and in 2016, Microsoft joined the Linux Foundation as a Platinum member. [10]
Under Nadella, Microsoft revised its mission statement to "empower every person and organization on the planet to achieve more". [11] In comparison to founder Bill Gates's "a PC on every desk and in every home, running Microsoft software", Nadella says that it is an enduring mission, rather than a temporal goal. [12] His key goal has been transforming Microsoft’s corporate culture into one that values continual learning and growth. [13] He has cited the book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck as inspiration for this philosophy around a "growth mindset". [14]
Nadella's leadership of Microsoft included a series of high profile acquisitions of other companies, to redirect Microsoft's focus. His first major acquisition was of Mojang, a Swedish game company best known for the popular freeform computer building game Minecraft, in late 2014, for $2.5 billion. Minecraft was notably a cross-platform game, with versions running on Apple's iOS mobile devices, and the Sony PlayStation dedicated gaming console, as well as Microsoft's Xbox. [15] He followed in early 2016 by purchasing Xamarin, a company dedicated to software development of applications that would run equally well on Google's Android, Apple's iOS, and Microsoft's Windows operating systems. [16] In June 2016, Nadella bought LinkedIn, the business oriented social networking site. It was the biggest acquisition in Microsoft's history, for $26.2 billion, and underscored Microsoft's commitment to the Web. [17]
In the years since becoming CEO, Nadella is viewed as having done well, [18] with Microsoft stock having risen more than 60% since he took over, and achieving an all-time high. [19] [20]
Thank you! (My COI: I'm not a paid editor, but have worked for the company - as an engineer - for 4 months now. I've been a Wikipedian for 11 years.) -- GRuban ( talk) 19:30, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Please do not refer to Nadella's putative caste affiliation in this article unless you can provide a high-quality source that demonstrates him self-identifying the affiliation. It doesn't matter how many sources mention it, if he doesn't say it himself.

I'm pinging everyone who's edited this article since March (most were minor edits, so I'm fully expecting many responses like "I have no opinion, I was reverting obvious vandalism!", but I had to start somewhere), to ask a hopefully non-controversial question. Could we change the current infobox photo to this one on the right? Satya Nadella recently released a number of images on https://news.microsoft.com/exec/satya-nadella/ under Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike, and I've uploaded them to Wikimedia Commons. He says he'd prefer this one for the article photo. I think this should be non-controversial, as an equally good photo, but shouldn't just do it myself, since I do work for the company. -- GRuban ( talk) 17:11, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I am new to the Wikipedia community with a few factual edits (with citations) to suggest for this page. As a Microsoft employee, I have a COI and respectfully request that another community member both review and implement these. Thank you for your consideration.
These two images, illustrating these two sentences:
Done* On 4 February 2014, Nadella was announced as the new CEO of Microsoft, the third CEO in the company's history, following
Bill Gates and
Steve Ballmer.
Done* In contrast to previous Microsoft campaigns against the
Linux operating system, Nadella proclaimed that "Microsoft ❤️ Linux"

Nadella is listed as an American citizen (which is correct, of course), but it seems unlikely to me that he'd have given up his Indian citizenship. He was in his twenties before coming to the USA, after all. Is there evidence that he's not both an American citizen and an Indian citizen? James Montgomerie ( talk) 11:27, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Referencing here, [1], Nadella's MBA degree was awarded in 1997. I have also seen the 1997 date elsewhere (e.g., [2])
Also the Britannica article references Nadella's early work on Windows NT.
A chronological presentation of Nadella's career at Microsoft would be clearer to me.
