Sunder Pichai, Satya Nadella, four other Indian-Americans in Donald Trump’s list of economic advisers

President Donald Trump has roped in six Indian-American corporate leaders, including Sundar Pichai from Google and Satya Nadella from Microsoft, to seek advice from the “brightest” and the “smartest” people on how to restart US economy that has been crippled by the coronavirus pandemic.

America’s economy, the world’s largest, has come to a standstill due the Covid-19 pandemic. More than 95 per cent of the 330 million population is under stay-at-home order amid a national emergency in place.

A record number of over 16 million people have lost their jobs due to the ongoing economic crisis in the US, according to latest official figures.
