With greater possessions and a good rank comes greater responsibilities. It need not to be reminded how some of the extraordinary Indians have made many globally scaled headlines. Be it our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi or Sundar Pichai who proved his worth by becoming the CEO of Google or his ex-colleague Nikesh Arora, President and COO of SoftBank Corp. who was ranked as the 3rd highest paid executive by getting paid a record amount of $135 million to lead Softbank’s operations.
Since the time Nikesh acquired his power, he has been tremendously investing in the startups, believing in their potentials and his long sightedness. Since he joined as the COO of SoftBank, the company has invested more than $4 billion in the hot and trending startups such as Oyo Rooms, Ola Cabs, Snapdeal, the Airbnb, Uber, and the Amazon of India. He seems to follow a strategic plan that sees its future as the Hulk of Tech Business. No doubt with his strategies, SoftBank Corp. has earned quite a royal distinction from others in the race. Besides these, his recent activities have foreshown his attention and dedication towards the future of his company. He really is a man with a plan and who is ready to go beyond all classes and set a benchmark for the company.
Nikesh recently acquired our attention by playing a much crucial role by not only paying attention to the feedbacks of the startups in his portfolio, but also tweeting and replying about them. It is quite remarkable and distinctive how the President and COO of such a big firm has taken time out of his hectic schedule to listen to the customer responses. So does Nikesh Arora is also planning to take over responsibilities of his customer care unit by developing it, the time will tell!

And the most common problem from OLA side,
No doubt he has earned himself the title- “Investor of the Year, 2015” within the startup ecosystem.
Without ever having worked in venture capital, he’s now one of the world’s most visible and free-spending President. Many people have the ability to write a cheque, but the way to carry out the plans, that’s the real deal. He’s figuring things out as he goes and until now, he really seems to have mastered this art. The public is looking forward to him with expectations, no doubt their questions are being answered by him, personally!
