To impress the CEO of Microsoft, who has thousands of ideas on his table every day, you need to have one extraordinary idea in your mind. And this little boy has the perfect example for you.
Satya Nadella was on his trip to India when he met an 8 year old game developer who impressed him immensely.
The young game developer Medansh Mehta was a part of Nadella's meeting with the student developers of India where he shared his game "Let There Be Light". The game has a developing city where you create factories and farms in order to construct a metropolis. But the uniqueness of the game is that players have to balance natural resources and the environment in the construction of their cities in order to succeed.

The idea is actually quite similar to the ongoing problem of pollution and environmental degradation. The game takes this complex idea a step further by accounting for pollution and environmental degradation in the entire construction of a virtual city; balancing the needs of the people and the environment of an emerging populous from the ground up.
Following Nadella’s remarks in his keynote, Mehta was interviewed by CNBC about his game and his ambitions. In the interview, with CNBC, Mehta revealed the question he asked Nadella about how he could have his job one day. Nadella responded “You are already ambitious beyond being the next CEO. The game has the sensibility that all of us need.”
it is no wonder that Satya Nadella was impressed by both the young boy’s game and ambitions.
