Microsoft’s CEO tells the inside story of the company’s continuing transformation, while tracing his own journey from a childhood in India to leading some of the most significant changes of the digital era.
LONGLISTED FOR THE FT & MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD
Satya Nadella grew up in India, studied in the US and went on to become Microsoft’s third CEO after Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. In Hit Refresh he offers a unique view of the transformation happening inside one of the world’s most iconic tech companies, and the arrival of the most exciting and disruptive wave of technology humankind has experienced – including artificial intelligence, mixed reality, and quantum computing.
Nadella examines how people, organisations and societies can and must transform – ‘hit refresh’ – in their persistent quest for new energy, new ideas, and continued relevance and renewal. Yet at its core, this book is about humans, and how one of our essential qualities – empathy – will become ever more valuable in a world where technological advancement will alter the status quo as never before.

Pros:Isn’t it wonderful to have an insight of internal working at Microsoft being the tech giant it is. It is like looking into a palace that everyone dreams to be in through a tiny window.To know the insider perspective of the failures of Microsoft,the reasons and their revivalHis take on newer technologies that might change the game soon.Cons:It is a good read not great though because it just caters to Microsoft details(2014 onward) and challenges and not his entire life neither his or Microsoft’s entire professional journey. It looks like a thread whose ends don’t meet. As stated before it is just his way to establish Microsoft in the race again.
