An Indian has been selected for the post because the only way Citi can survive is by milking Indians which they are already at.Who can do this job better than an Indian?It is repaeat East India Company.

Capturing world? Where did u get this idea dude? just becos 4 cos have Indian (more approrpiatlely indian lineage .. since many of those did most of their living o/s India) CEO's dont assume India has captured the world.. just say 4 capable perosnalities have become CEO's and will be so until they make the next big mistake
Earlier Indira Nooyi was appointed global CEO of Pepsi. Now Vikram Pandit is taking over as CEO of Citigroup.
Surely, Indians like them taking over the reigns of global institutions bring more cheers to our work capabilities and ethics.
I personally feel that this breed is a better testimony to our ethos than the likes of Swaraj Paul, Hindujas, Lakshmi Mital, Sunita Williams, Bobby Jindal and Arun Nayyar etc., although the achievements of people of Indian origin born and brought up abroad are by no means to be belittled.
Any views?

Able Managers and leaders are taking over. Today it is Indian, so you feel proud. If tomorrow another able manager from another country comes, will you say Indians lost or discrimination? Every civilized country has able and successful citizens whose actions do the rest proud. Yes I agreee with you, our capabilities are being brought out more and more with time and I too feel happy about it.

This is to address your post scrip: Emperor! You are not the final word to decide what is constructive or not. You may like to be reminded that if you don the name Emperor - you just receive views from subjects and use your supposedly fine sense of judgement to decide, whether anything is worth considering or let it go by. You do not prescribe, ever, please. Those who have not cared to respond to your invitation may have concluded that the points written by you do not merit response.(may be?)

Work Ethos are country specific and cannot be universalised. Yes when cross pollinated it does create a unique resource in a person. But it is a matter of time when, equilibrium will set in and the person who has changed lands, will mesh into the local ethos and may have to change his ethos too!

dude get this out of your head that iim and iit's produces world business leaders. Of course your mind will now come up with indira nooyi, arun sarin, vinod khosla, rajat gupta but is you look at thier cvs you wil see that the defining institutes have been all the likes of HYPMS and almost all of them have more than one degree from abroad.
It's important to undestand that a person truly becomes BIG by learning in depth about what he/she is interested in. the opposite of what is happening in india. People go to the iit's and iim's because because degrees from these places give relatively better salaries than other places of higher learning do.
By the way VP went to columbia when he was just 16. He also has a phd in finance
I didnot agree with you i definately agree IIT's or IIM's have better brains but
I my experince (I have around 7 years of Experince Right from Manufacturing,R&D now IT) Seen and interacted with many people but found that ultimately it takes your Depth of Knowledge and hardwork and little bit of luck that brings sucesses.
