Vivek Murthy, co-founder of the Doctors for America, became the Surgeon General of the US and Satya Nadella became the CEO of Microsoft. Nikki Haley was re-elected as Governor of South Carolina which takes the count of Indians at the helm of a US state to two, including Bobby Jindal. Nina Davuluri became the first person of Indian origin to wear the crown of Miss America.
In India, a historic election saw the first government with a clear majority in 30 years. India's space research organization sent a satellite to Mars at just $75 million, cheaper than the space movie "Gravity."
