On the afternoon of November 17, Beijing time, Microsoft CEO Satyanadra (Satya Nadella) said that he was very optimistic about Asia, especially China and India, when talking about the company's plans to build more data centers around the world.

"I am very optimistic about the situation in Asia." Nadella said. Microsoft is investing in at least 11 regions, he added.

"We are absolutely committed to investing in all these countries, and we are also committed to investing in the Chinese market. Today, my main job is to support multinational companies operating in China and multinational companies that are coming out of China."

He added that after emerging from the epidemic, India had become a "substantially growing market".

"Microsoft used to focus on multinationals operating in India, but now the situation has completely changed." "instead, companies that are innovating in India, whether large conglomerates or start-ups, are using (artificial intelligence) cloud technology to innovate and create services that are popular in India and elsewhere," he said. "

Microsoft has previously told the media that India has a huge demand for new local cloud computing applications.

Microsoft announced a round of layoffs in October, affecting less than 1% of its employees.

Asked whether Microsoft would make more layoffs as growth continued to slow, Nadella said: "I am committed to ensuring that our operating expenses are compatible with revenue growth. After all, we are a well-managed company."

American tech giants have been laying off workers on a large scale recently, but Nadella insists he is optimistic about the U. S. labor market.

Meta Platforms cut 11000 jobs, Snap more than 1000 and Twitter halved after Elon Musk took over last month.

"the current labour market is more flexible." Nadella said. He believes that most companies, from energy companies to banks to retailers, need software engineers.

He added, "No industry can be left alone, so everyone has to properly manage costs and demand."

"one of the advantages of the United States is the amount of capital it invests." Industrial infrastructure such as new processing plants, power plants and battery factories are under construction, he added.

Nadella succeeded Steve Ballmer (Steve Ballmer) as Microsoft CEO in 2014. Prior to that, Nadella was vice president of Microsoft Cloud and Enterprise Group.
