In a stunning shift at the top of the global tech hierarchy, Jayshree Ullal has emerged as the wealthiest Indian-origin CEO in the world. According to the Hurun India Rich List 2025, the Arista Networks President and CEO now commands a net worth of $5.7 billion, quietly leapfrogging household names like Microsoft's Satya Nadella and Google's Sundar Pichai.

Ullal's rise is a testament to the exploding value of "back-end" infrastructure. While consumer-facing tech giants have seen volatility, Arista Networks has capitalized on the insatiable demand for high-speed cloud networking and AI infrastructure. Owning nearly 3% of the company, Ullal has seen her wealth skyrocket as Arista's stock surged, driven by the data center boom.

This milestone highlights a changing landscape where enterprise and infrastructure technology create as much, if not more, individual value than consumer platforms. Ullal, who has led Arista for over 17 years, represents a triumph of steady, product-focused leadership. Her journey from Cisco to the helm of Arista is now crowned with this financial distinction, placing her firmly in the history books of global business.
