US CTO and CIO
Interestingly, both US CTO and CIO appointed in Obama’s administration are of Indian origin - Vivek Kundra and Aneesh Chopra. And there is a debate going on in the tech circle whether these appointments are right or not - not just debate - it is mudslinging now. Today this has reached new levels with John C. Dvorak asking whether Vivek is a phony. On the other hand, Tim O’Reilly had showered glowing praise - Why Aneesh Chopra is a Great Choice for Federal CTO and continues to support both the appointments.
Also, I don’t understand how the Indian media miss out on all this masala. Generally they go over the top about the achievements or infamy of Indians (or people of Indian origin) abroad.
