Early Life

William Henry Gates had a passion for computers from his early life, and at 13, he first wrote a software program. In senior high school, he helped a team that computerized their school’s payroll system. He decided to drop out of college at Harvard University and introduce Microsoft DOS.

Indian TV Cameo

That’s the number of people in India who are explaining Microsoft cofounder and philanthropist Bill Gates’s guest spot in a classic Hindi television drama series with actress and former federal minister Smriti Irani.

Mr Gates guest-starred on Thursday night’s episode of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (Because Mother-in-Law Was Once Also Daughter-in-Law) to discuss maternal and child health with Irani.

Gates Foundation has been trying to stem infant and maternal deaths for years with the governments of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar – the two north Indian states with massive populations which are also among the poorest regions.

Government statistics indicate a huge improvement in maternal and child health parameters over the years, including in the two states. But in a society rooted in patriarchy, there is still a way to go.

Under such circumstances, experts believe messaging is very critical to sustain the drumbeat to modify norms and make people conscious of taking care of their girls and mothers. And to do so, Mr Gates couldn’t have found a better platform than Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.
