Apple Inc., one of the world's largest technology companies, has appointed Sabih Khan, a resident of Moradabad, as its Chief Operating Officer (COO). The news sparked a celebratory atmosphere in his hometown of Moradabad. From the city's residents to relatives, everyone is proud of this achievement.
Sabih Khan's accomplishment is a matter of pride not only for his family or Moradabad, but for the entire state of Uttar Pradesh and India. He has now joined the select list of Indians who have attained such a high position in a multinational company at the global level.
A Blend of Humility and Success
Sabih Khan now joins the prestigious list that already includes prominent Indians like Google's Sundar Pichai, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, and former PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi.
Sabih Khan was born in 1966 in the historic Mohammad Yar Khan Kothi located in the Civil Lines area of Moradabad. This kothi, spread over approximately 65,000 square feet, has once again come into the limelight. Currently, a mini mall, shopping complex, and a school are operating in this kothi. Khan family members, especially his cousins and relatives, still reside in a part of it.
Following his appointment, there is a buzz of discussion throughout the city, from social media to local neighborhoods. People are calling him the "Pride of Moradabad" and giving examples of his simplicity.
Family and Relatives Express Happiness
Aman Yar Khan, Sabih's maternal uncle and a hotelier in the city, reacted emotionally to Sabih's success. Speaking to the news agency 'PTI-Bhasha,' he said,
This is a matter of pride not only for Moradabad or Uttar Pradesh, but for the entire country. We are extremely happy that our own brother has reached such a high position in the world's largest technology company.
Aman Yar Khan revealed that Sabih is the son of his maternal uncle, Saeed Khan, who was an engineer by profession. He mentioned that before going to Singapore, Sabih received his education from St. Mary's School in Moradabad.
Praising Sabih Khan's simplicity, Aman said,
He is older than me and impeccable in every way. If someone spends a few days with him without knowing him, they wouldn't even guess that he holds such a high position in Apple. His behavior is very simple and down-to-earth.
Will Soon Assume New Responsibility
According to the family, Sabih Khan may take up his new responsibilities by the end of this month. He currently resides in San Francisco, USA, with his wife and three children. His close acquaintances say that he is fond of Indian cuisine, especially curries and biryani.
Mahfuz Khan, another resident of Moradabad, also expressed his happiness, saying,
I am a distant relative of Sabih Khan. He has brought glory to Moradabad through his hard work and dedication. Now not only Moradabad, but the entire country has started to know about him.
Another Proud Moment for India
This appointment of Sabih Khan is also a special achievement for India. It is a symbol of the talent and hard work that professionals of Indian origin are demonstrating around the world today. Especially in the field of technology and innovation, people of Indian origin are continuously taking on major responsibilities.
The position of COO in a global company like Apple demands not only technical qualifications but also leadership, strategy, and international understanding. Sabih Khan has proved that even someone from a small town can reach the highest platforms in the world.
