Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Career 2.1 Sun Microsystems 2.2 Microsoft 3 Personal life 4 Publications 5 References 6 External links Early life ( edit ) Nadella was born in Hyderabad , Andhra Pradesh , India ( now in the state of Telangana ) , to a brahmin family that is originally from Bukkapuram village in Rayalaseema . His father , Bukkapuram Nadella Yugandher , was a civil servant who worked at the prestigious Indian Administrative Service within the Government of India . Nadella attended the Hyderabad Public School , Begumpet before receiving a bachelor 's in electrical engineering from the Manipal Institute of Technology ( then part of Mangalore University ) in 1988 . Nadella subsequently traveled to the U.S. to study for a M.S. in computer science at the University of Wisconsin -- Milwaukee , receiving his degree in 1990 . Later , he received an MBA from the University of Chicago . Nadella said he `` always wanted to build things '' and that electrical engineering `` was a great way for ( him ) to go discover what turned out to become a passion , '' computer science . Career ( edit ) Sun Microsystems ( edit ) Nadella worked at Sun Microsystems as a member of its technology staff prior to joining Microsoft in 1992 . Microsoft ( edit ) At Microsoft , Nadella has led major projects that included the company 's move to cloud computing and the development of one of the largest cloud infrastructures in the world . Nadella worked as the senior vice-president of Research and Development ( R&D ) for the Online Services Division and vice-president of the Microsoft Business Division . Later , he was made the president of Microsoft 's $19 billion Server and Tools Business and led a transformation of the company 's business and technology culture from client services to cloud infrastructure and services . He has been credited for helping bring Microsoft 's database , Windows Server and developer tools to its Azure cloud . The revenue from Cloud Services grew to $20.3 billion in June 2013 from $16.6 billion when he took over in 2011 . He received $18 million in 2016 pay . Nadella 's 2013 base salary was nearly $700,000 , for a total compensation , with stock bonuses , of $7.6 million . Previous positions held by Nadella include : President of the Server & Tools Division ( 9 February 2011 -- February 2014 ) Senior Vice-President of Research and Development for the Online Services Division ( March 2007 -- February 2011 ) Vice-President of the Business Division Corporate Vice-President of Business Solutions and Search & Advertising Platform Group Executive Vice-President of Cloud and Enterprise group On 4 February 2014 , Nadella was announced as the new CEO of Microsoft , the third chief executive in the company 's history , following Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer . In October 2014 , Nadella courted controversy when he made a statement that women should not ask for a raise and should trust the system . The statement was made while he was attending an event on Women in Computing in Phoenix , AZ . Nadella was roundly criticised for the statement and he apologised later on Twitter . He later sent an email to Microsoft employees admitting he was `` Completely wrong '' . Nadella changed the company 's direction after becoming CEO . His tenure has emphasized openness to working with companies and technologies with which Microsoft also competes , including Apple Inc. , Salesforce , IBM , and Dropbox . In contrast to previous Microsoft campaigns against the Linux operating system , Nadella proclaimed that `` Microsoft ♥ Linux '' , and in 2016 , Microsoft joined the Linux Foundation as a Platinum member . Under Nadella Microsoft revised its mission statement to `` empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more '' . In comparison to founder Bill Gates 's `` a PC on every desk and in every home , running Microsoft software '' , Nadella says that it is an enduring mission , rather than a temporal goal . His key goal has been transforming Microsoft 's corporate culture into one that values continual learning and growth . He has cited the book Mindset : The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck as inspiration for this philosophy around a `` growth mindset '' . Nadella 's leadership of Microsoft included a series of high - profile acquisitions of other companies , to redirect Microsoft 's focus . His first major acquisition was of Mojang , a Swedish game company best known for the popular freeform computer building game Minecraft , in late 2014 , for $2.5 billion . Minecraft was notably a cross-platform game , with versions running on Apple 's iOS mobile devices , and the Sony PlayStation dedicated gaming console , as well as Microsoft 's Xbox . He followed that in 2016 by purchasing Xamarin and LinkedIn . In the years since becoming CEO , Nadella is viewed as having done well , with Microsoft stock having risen more than 130 % since he took over and achieving an all - time high . During his leadership , stock in the company has grown at an annualized rate of 23 % . Personal life ( edit ) In 1992 , Nadella married Anupama , daughter of his father 's Indian Administrative Service ( IAS ) batchmate , K.R. Venugopal . The couple has three children , a son and two daughters , and lives in Bellevue , Washington . Nadella is an avid reader of business literature and of American and Indian poetry . He also nurses a passion for cricket , having played on his school team . Nadella has authored a book titled Hit Refresh that explores his life , his career in Microsoft and how he believes technology will shape the future . It was announced that the profits from the book would go to Microsoft Philanthropies and through that to nonprofit organizations .

Republic Day ( India ) - Wikipedia Republic Day ( India ) Jump to : navigation , search Republic Day The original text of the Preamble to the Constitution of India . The Constitution of India came into force on 26 January 1950 ( 1950 - 01 - 26 ) . Observed by India Type National Significance Inception of Constitution of India Celebrations Parades , distribution of sweets in schools , speeches and cultural dances Date 26 January Next time 26 January 2019 ( 2019 - 01 - 26 ) Frequency Annual Republic Day honours the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect on 26 January 1950 replacing the Government of India Act ( 1935 ) as the governing document of India . The Constitution was adopted by the Indian Constituent Assembly on 26 November 1949 , and came into effect on 26 January 1950 with a democratic government system , completing the country 's transition towards becoming an independent republic . 26 January was chosen as the Republic day because it was on this day in 1930 when Declaration of Indian Independence ( Purna Swaraj ) was proclaimed by the Indian National Congress as opposed to the Dominion status offered by British Regime . Contents ( hide ) 1 History of Republic Day 2 Celebrations 2.1 Delhi Republic Day parade 2.2 Beating Retreat 3 Gallery 4 Republic Day parade chief guest 5 Notes 6 See also 7 References History of Republic Day ( edit ) India achieved independence from British Raj on 15 August 1947 following the Indian independence movement noted for largely peaceful non-violent resistance and civil disobedience led by Mahatma Gandhi . The independence came through the Indian Independence Act 1947 ( 10 & 11 Geo 6 c 30 ) , an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that partitioned British India into the two new independent Dominions of the British Commonwealth ( later Commonwealth of Nations ) . India obtained its independence on 15 August 1947 as a constitutional monarchy with George VI as head of state and the Earl Mountbatten as governor - general . The country , though , did not yet have a permanent constitution ; instead its laws were based on the modified colonial Government of India Act 1935 . On 28 August 1947 , the Drafting Committee was appointed to draft a permanent constitution , with Dr BR Ambedkar as chairman . While India 's Independence Day celebrates its freedom from British Rule , the Republic Day celebrates the coming into force of its constitution . A draft constitution was prepared by the committee and submitted to the Assembly on 4 November 1947 . The Assembly met , in sessions open to public , for 166 days , spread over a period of two years , 11 months and 18 days before adopting the Constitution . After many deliberations and some modifications , the 308 members of the Assembly signed two hand - written copies of the document ( one each in Hindi and English ) on 24 January 1950 . Two days later , it came into effect throughout the whole nation .
