Other information about Nadella’s visit to Hyderabad, his hometown, understood to be personal, were not immediately available.
During his ongoing visit to India, Nadella had met Indian prime minister Narendra Modi and also attended the ‘Microsoft Future Ready Technology Summit’ in Bengaluru, the IT capital of India.
Speaking at the Bengaluru summit, he had talked about his light-hearted ChatGPT (popular AI-enabled software) conversation and said, as a Hyderabadi, his intelligence cannot be insulted by saying biriyani is a South Indian tiffin.
ChatGPT had categorised biriyani as tiffin item.
Nadella had studied at the Hyderabad Public School.
