Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, arrived slightly late for the Microsoft Ignite 2023 developer conference in Seattle due to staying up all night watching the India-New Zealand World Cup semi-final match.
Nadella acknowledged the scheduling conflict during his keynote address, mentioning that they didn't anticipate scheduling Ignite on the same day as a crucial cricket match.
Nadella expressed his excitement about India's 70-run victory and humorously stated, "I’ve been up all night, but it finished five minutes ago. I am glad it did. This is the short version of the game, by the way."
