Nikesh Arora is one of the
most globally known Indian businessmen. He had just recently resigned from the
post of President of Japanese SoftBank. He had got recognition as a senior
business executive of Google.
The sudden exit of Nikesh
from SoftBank was quite shocking. He was under fire and even an investigation
was done on the complain of a shareholder. He was proved innocence after
thorough enquiry. But, when everything looked settled, he put down papers. He
was handpicked by the maverick founder and CEO of SoftBank Masayoshi Son.
SoftBank has made huge
investment in India in various ventures. It would be interesting to see how the
company handles these investments without Nikesh Arora.
Nikesh was also in news for
his ridiculously high salary that he was getting from SoftBank. In Indian
Rupees, he was getting Rs. 4 Crore per day.
Profile of Nikesh Arora
Nikesh Arora’s father was an
officer with the Indian Air Force. Nikesh did engineering from Indian Institute
of Technology – BHU in 1989. It must be noted here that at the time of Nikesh
engineering, this college was not an IIT. After completing degree with
Electrical Engineering, Nitesh went the USA and took admission in Boston
College for MS. Later, he did MBA from Northeastern University. It should be
mentioned here that apart from B.Tech, MS and MBA, Nikesh also holds CFA
designation.
Wife of Nikesh Arora
Nikesh Arora married
socialite Ayesha Thapar in July, 2014. This was a big fat Punjabi marriage
which was intensively covered by Indian and USA press.
The
marriage was solemnized in Italy and was attended by celebrities from Bollywood
and Hollywood. Needless to say, tech giants from Google and other Silicon
Valley companies were there.
The couple has a son.
Ayesha is the scion of
powerful Thapar family of Delhi. She is going to handle Indian City Properties
of Thapar family.
Interestingly, it was second
marriage for both Nikesh and Ayesha.
Previously, Ayesha was
married to a Turk businessman based in Miami. They had divorced mutually. It is
said that she started to date Nikesh without even divorcing.
And, it was the main reason
why Nikesh’ first wife asked her to go away from her life. The name of Nikesh’
first wife was Kiran. They had a daughter. In fact, the daughter is still in
touch with Nikesh. But, Kiran doesn’t want to see Nikesh anymore.
