Satya Nadella visits Microsoft's facility in Hyderabad

HYDERABAD: Software giant Microsoft's Chief Executive Satya Nadella today visited the company's office here and addressed employees.

Nadella visited this morning the India Development Centre (IDC), the biggest campus outside its headquarters at Redmond in the US, and shared his vision for the company during his address, a Microsoft official said.

There was, however, no official details of the visit. This is Nadella's first visit to the city after he assumed the top job at Microsoft.

The Hyderabad-born Nadella reportedly met Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao here yesterday though no official communication was given to the media on the meeting by either side.

Nadella spoke to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu over phone yesterday, sources in the AP government said.

Naidu was away in Visakhapatnam today to inaugurate an IT and start-up incubation centre in the port city to give a push to IT in Andhra Pradesh post formation of separate Telangana.

Both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana governments are said to be keen on taking the help of Nadella for promotion of IT.

Nadella, son of retired IAS officer B N Yungandhar, is an alumnus of Hyderabad Public School.

The Microsoft CEO is scheduled to participate in a NASSCOM event this week in Delhi.

However, there was no immediate response to an email sent to a spokesperson of Microsoft for details of Nadella's visit to MSIDC.
