There seems to be a lot of misinformation on Indo-Americans in the U.S. --
that they are being starved and exploited by the eeeevil U.S gorement!
Indian-Americans are one of the most affluent, well-educated and
well-informed ethnic communities in the U.S. and are dominant in their
respective professions in medicine, science, technology and business.
The Patels are a major force in the hospitality industry.
Vikrant Pandit sold his less-than-one-year old hedge fund to Citibank for
almost a billion dollars and then took over as chief executive.
Indian woman Indira K. Nooyi , chief executive of Pepsi Cola, the largest
U.S. company by market capitalization...
Mumbai-born Aru Kulkarni is president of Liz Clairborne--a large fashion
establishment...
Vinod Khosla, born in Pune, is a founder of Daisy Systems and also founder
of Sun Micro Systems. Is also a leading Venture capitalist and one of 400
richest Americans...
Vinod Gupta, chairman of Info-Sys -- a mailing-list company he started in
his kitchen from scratch...
Victor Menezes, an ex Citibank senior executive
And let's not forget some of our own on Goanet--Dr. Gilbert Lawrence
(oncologist), Dr. Victor D'Sa (heart surgeon), Mr. Mario Goveia (engineer
and MBA Univ. of Michigan), Rajan Parrikar, PhD and social activist...
and so on an on...I could fill reams if I chose to...
Let us recognise them all...and salute them for their success in America,
the land of freedom and opportunity!
