Vikram Pandit, is the youngest person to become the CEO of Citigroup. A master in electrical engineer by degree, Vikram switched to the financial field to make a mark in Morgan Stanley. A year ago, Vikram had founded Old Lane, a hedge fund focused on real estate and infrastructure opportunities in India, right after leaving the top executive position at Morgan Stanley. Citigroup later bought out the company (for a whopping $600 to $800 million) to offer the key people in Old Lane jobs in Citigroup’s Alternatives business. And within six months, Vikram got the CEO’s position at Citigroup. The 50-year old Indian, has certainly made India proud.

After Technology, Indians are now also shining in the financial sector. Hope that India also gain from such talented sons.
Indian government should make a think tank of such Indians so that our country also benefit from them.
