Introducing Anupama Nadella, the wife of Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella, who hails from an illustrious background as the daughter of an IAS officer.
Satya Nadella, an accomplished engineer with roots in Hyderabad, has been at the helm of Microsoft since 2014, leading the company to unprecedented success.
Anupama, affectionately known as Anu, shares a unique connection with Satya, as both their fathers were IAS batchmates. Born in New Delhi to IAS officer KR Venugopal, Anupama pursued her education in Hyderabad and holds an architecture graduate degree from Manipal University.
When the couple tied the knot in the same year Satya joined Microsoft, they faced immigration challenges. Satya, already a green card holder, relinquished it to facilitate Anupama’s entry into the US, obtaining an H-1B visa for her.
Beyond her family commitments, Anupama demonstrated philanthropic endeavours, donating Rs 2 crore to support farmers and women in Andhra Pradesh’s Anantapur district. She also contributed Rs 2 crore to the PM relief fund in India during the Covid-19 outbreak.
Satya Nadella’s professional success is reflected in his substantial yearly compensation, amounting to 54.9 million dollars in the fiscal year 2021-2022.
With a net worth exceeding Rs 6200 crore, Satya Nadella stands as a prominent figure in the tech industry, with Anupama supporting him every step of the way.
