After 10 years in the US, Adobe executive moves back to Bengaluru for family: ‘We miss the Bay area’
Adobe's Director of Engineering, Gowri Shankar Ravindran, has moved back to Bengaluru with his family after a decade in California's Bay Area, joining a growing list of senior Indian-origin tech executives choosing to return home to be closer to ageing parents and loved ones.
Gowri Shankar Ravindran, Director of Engineering at Adobe, has announced a return to Bengaluru after ten years in the US, primarily to be closer to his family. In a LinkedIn post, Ravindran expressed his long-standing appreciation for his time in the Bay Area, where he worked alongside and forged lifelong friendships with top tech professionals.
Despite the excitement of the new chapter, he acknowledged missing the Bay Area community. He credited Adobe for facilitating the international move, maintaining his engineering responsibilities in Bengaluru. This relocation is part of a growing trend among Indian-origin tech executives who initially moved abroad for career advancement but are now prioritizing family ties by returning home.
Balaji Gururajan, a Meta senior engineering leader, recently shared a similar story, moving back to Bengaluru to be closer to his aging parents while continuing his career. Both stories highlight the evolving priorities of senior tech professionals, who are finding ways to balance their career ambitions with personal and family commitments, even as remote work practices expand globally.
