Key Highlights

  • Will it hurt Indians?Before joining Arista Networks in 2008, her resume included roles at tech giants like Cisco Systems, Advanced Micro Devices and Fairchild Semiconductor. Under her leadership, Arista has become a major force in cloud networking, designing high-performance networking solutions for large data centres, cloud providers and enterprise environments. In 2024, the company reported around $7 billion in revenue, an almost 20 per cent increase from the previous year. Ullal’s rise to the top of the Hurun list marks a shift in how Indian-origin executives are recognised on the world stage.
  • Despite the high profiles of other leaders like Nadella and Pichai, it’s Ullal’s combination of long-term leadership, strategic vision and direct ownership in her company—she holds roughly 3 per cent of Arista’s stock—that has pushed her to the top.
