During his recent visit to India, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella met with quite a few interesting people from his field. A certain computer game developer even spoke with him about sustainable development.
So what?
Well, Medansh Mehta, the developer, is just eight years old!
To Nadella’s astonishment, Medansh posed questions even seasoned journalists and experts had forgotten to.
Mumbai-based student Medansh presented his app Let There Be Light during a meeting between Nadella and student developers from India.
Medansh told CNBC that his advice to Nadella was, “You have to balance industrial growth and agriculture so that you can control pollution and the rate of growth so that an economy can sustain itself.”
He hopes to become the CEO of Microsoft. “I am looking at becoming the CEO of Microsoft to make it a technological company that takes over all the companies in the world,” the boy told CNBC.
The boy left Nadella so impressed that the Microsoft CEO later mentioned him in a keynote speech.
“I met an eight-year-old, and this is perhaps the time where I felt the most inadequate,” Nadella said. “And, the eight-year-old’s dream is to create a society that knows how to balance economic growth with environmental sustainability. This is the goal he has and then he translated that vision, that goal, into a novel game that he’s built,” Nadella was quoted by Mashable.
