Indian-origin Srinivas Gopalan, Rahul Goyal appointed as CEOs of two big US companies

Two major US companies have appointed Indian-origin CEOs. Telecom giant T-Mobile announced Srinivasan Gopalan will take over as CEO from November 1. Beverage major Molson Coors has chosen Rahul Goyal as its new CEO, effective October 1. Gopalan's appointment comes as the US wireless market faces challenges, including slowing subscriber growth and fierce competition. Goyal, a company veteran, has previously served in key roles including CFO of Molson Coors India. These appointments are notable amidst discussions around the H1B visa program in the US. A reporter noted, "Desi CEO for US Giants is the biggest news in the day for Telecom and IT space as well." This highlights the significance of these leadership changes in the corporate world.
