Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's son Zain Nadella died Monday morning, Microsoft Corp said. The executive staff was informed through an email about this and was asked to keep the family in their thoughts and prayers and give them space to grieve.
Zain Nadella was born with celebral palsy in 1996. "I remember the year 1996 as a thrilling time. My wife, Anu, was 25 and I was 29. My career as an engineer was taking off, while she was building her career as an architect. We were far from our families in India, but settling into our new life together in the Seattle area. Even more exciting, however, was that Anu was pregnant with our first child. In the apartment we were renting next to the Microsoft campus, we spent months busily preparing for his arrival – — decorating a nursery, putting plans in place for Anu to return to her career, envisioning how our weekends and holidays would change …. We were ready to add a new joy to our life," Satya Nadella wrote in a blog.
