We Indians are really taking over the world. I mean, be it Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan who gets his face lit up on the World's tallest building 'Burj Khalifa' when it comes to the entertainment business, or Sundar Pichai leading Google, Indians are really at the top.

Now, adding a new name to the list is Indian-American Parag Agrawal, who will now be replacing Jack Dorsey as Twitter's CEO.

Quite an accomplishment, to be honest, and here's why you should know these things about Parag.

1. He Is A Genius & Over-Qualified As F***

Bhai! Bachpan me Indian parents bohot padhate hai, and Parag seems to be a kid who happened to be a true Agrawal Ji Ka Beta.

Parag ranked 77th in his IIT-JEE exams and then ended up studying at IIT-Bombay. After that, the whizkid actually went on to study at the prestigious Stanford University.

Also, before joining Twitter in 2011, Parag had been a researcher at Microsoft, Yahoo, and AT&T Labs, something that shows his credibility in heading one of the biggest social media companies in the world.  

2. He Is Indian Playback Singer Shreya Ghoshal's Childhood Friend

One thing you should know about Agrawal is that he's always had star friends. Yeah, that's right!

Parag is actually the childhood friend of Indian singer Shreya Ghoshal. In fact, there have been a few Twitter exchanges where Shreya has actually shown Parag his love.

Here's what she wrote for her "Bachpan Ka Dost" after he became the Twitter CEO.

Congrats @paraga So proud of you!! Big day for us, celebrating this news https://t.co/PxRBGQ29q4

Shreya also revealed that while she is not keen on social media, she still ends up using Twitter. (The Parag Effect)

I am not social in person. #fact But when it comes to twitter, I am just the opposite.

She also wished him on his birthday.

Parag is clearly in some high-esteemed company. He is probably the one Indian that people will be looking out for in the tech world after Satya Nadella and Sundar Pichai.

While Satya came to head Microsoft and Sundar heading Google, Parag will be taking on Twitter, meaning that Indians are leading the biggest companies in the world, something to really take pride in.
