Adobe Executive Returns to Bengaluru After 10 Years in US

Gowri Shankar Ravindran, a director at Adobe, has relocated to Bengaluru after spending ten years in California. He made the move to be closer to his family while continuing to lead the company's CXO engineering business remotely.

Ravindran's return reflects a growing pattern of Indian executives in the tech industry choosing to move back to India. The shift is driven by a desire for proximity to relatives and the increasing feasibility of remote work for senior roles.

In his new arrangement, Ravindran manages his team across time zones, relying on digital tools and periodic travel. He said the transition has been smooth, with support from Adobe's global infrastructure and a collaborative team culture.

His move adds to a broader trend of reverse migration, as professionals with years of international experience bring their skills back to India's expanding tech sector. Companies are adapting to this by embracing flexible work models that allow leadership to operate from anywhere.
