India-born ex- Google executive Nikesh Arora has been appointed the President of Japan's telecommunications giant SoftBank Corp that paid the ‘rising star’ a whopping $135 million for the financial year 2014. Arora, 47, who earlier held the vice president's post, was appointed company president and COO at a general meeting of shareholders here on Friday. In a management reshuffle last month, Arora - then investments head - was named as a potential successor to company chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son, as the telecoms conglomerate steps up its overseas expansion.
