California State Senate · August 3, 2026

Summary

Senator Cortese presented a Senate resolution recognizing Shantanu Narayan's 18 years of leadership at Adobe and his contributions to San Jose and California's tech sector; Narayan and family were welcomed on the gallery floor.

Senator Cortese presented a Senate resolution honoring Shantanu Narayan for his leadership at Adobe and his contributions to the Bay Area economy. Cortese said Narayan "led Adobe's transformation from box software to cloud-based subscriptions" and noted the company's local headquarters and workforce in Senate District 15.

"Mr. Narayan's success is also a credit to his values," Cortese said, noting Adobe's pandemic response and efforts to prioritize employee well-being. Cortese described how Adobe employed thousands in the region and referenced Narayan's service on federal advisory boards and involvement with the U.S.-India Strategic Partnership Forum.

The senator asked colleagues to join in welcoming Narayan, his wife Rani and children Shravan and Arjun, and members of Adobe leadership in the gallery. The presentation was ceremonial; the record shows floor recognition rather than a prompted vote or committee action attached to the resolution during this session.
