Satya is a 46 year old family man with 3 children born in Hyderabad, India. He has been with Microsoft for 22 years and has had many roles across a multitude of areas within the company.

PS: When it comes to Cricket, I much prefer the shortened limited "over" games which last hours rather than the test matches which last days. But it does help when Australia wins the 2013 Ashes test match series against England with a score of 5-0.
