"If Satya Nadella had remained in India,he would probably be working as a coder in Infosys or TCS. Earning a high salary no doubt, but an unlikely candidate for CEO"

TCS(Tata Consultancy Services) CEOs, current or past, were not from IITs.

Are you serious?

Nandan Nilekani was hired at Infosys as a programmer. He ultimately went on to become the CEO.

The line in quotes is from the article. I was trying to counter it by citing TCS CEOs were not IITians. I should have made it more explicit.
Not sure I get your point, but Nadella isn't from the IITs
I think what he is implying is, Nadella had a good chance of becoming CEO of TCS and not mere coder as the picture the article is trying to paint.

Afterall current CEO of TCS is from NIT Tricy who was hired straight from campus and rose all the way to CEO position.
