“is an Indian–American business executive who has been the CEO of Google since 2015 and the CEO of its parent company Alphabet Inc. since 2019.”

E6 Sundar Pichai - Wikipedia Wikipedia
“Indian-born American executive who was CEO of both Google, Inc. (2015– ), and its holding company, Alphabet Inc. (2019– ).”
Reasoning
Alphabet's FY2023 10-K, filed in January 2024, names Sundar Pichai as CEO of Alphabet and Google (E1, E4). Wikipedia describes him as Indian-American and Indian-born (E5, E6), so the Google part holds. Microsoft's 2024 proxy statement names Satya Nadella as Chairman and CEO (E2, E3), but no evidence item says where he was born or what his origin is. No evidence covers the CEOs of IBM or Adobe at all, so the number of companies with Indian-origin CEOs cannot be counted under the criteria.
