Microsoft exec Asha Sharma faces backlash over her Indian roots after becoming Gaming head

Indian-origin Microsoft executive Asha Sharma faced backlash after getting appointed as Gaming division's head by replacing Phil Spencer, who quit after 38 years at the company. X users noted how she has "no gaming background", with one user claiming Microsoft had become "Indian nepotism now", alleging Indian hiring managers favour Indian candidates. This comes despite Sharma's 15-year experience.
