Most of the book revolved around Nadella’s journey from growing up in India to becoming the CEO of one of the world’s biggest tech company.
However, along with that, him and his wife had shared details about the troubled birth of his son, back in 1996. The two had also talked about their frequent visits at the Children’s Hospital in Seattle, which had become a second home for them and Zain.
Along with that, Nadella’s visits at the Children’s Hospital also gave him an outlook on how Microsoft technologies had helped improve the medical space as most of the hardware were using some form of Cloud technology and Windows as the operating system.
With his learnings of living with Zain, Satya has paved the way with improving accessibility for users with the help of technology built at Microsoft.
