Never heard of this guy before this, and it certainly doesn't bother me in the least if he's Indian. I cringe everytime I see someone saying Indians should be proud because this guy was named CEO of MS... Lol really?

He is the cloud guy at Microsoft. Basically he was responsible for cloud services at the company. Azure OneDrive etc. Funny because Microsoft is still very much a non cloudy company.

I guess he also looked a lot in servers too

I love what he has done to bing search. He also* headed the team which was responsible for the remarkable growth of bing search in overseas market. The graphical incorporation is what inclined me to use bing more & more. Especially the bing Desktop tool.
Being his brainchild, especially today bing exudes extra awesomeness. Time for Le Morne Brabant, Mauritius.
