San Francisco:

Tech giant Microsoft's India-born CEO Satya Nadella has congratulated US President-elect Donald Trump and said he looks forward to working with all those elected in the general election.

-"Yesterday, we witnessed the democratic process in action here in the US. The results are of importance around the world, and I know that interest is shared among Microsoft employees,-" Nadella, 49, wrote on Microsoft-owned professional networking site LinkedIn on Wednesday.

-"We congratulate the president-elect, and look forward to working with all those elected yesterday. Our commitment to our mission and values are steadfast, and in particular fostering a diverse and inclusive culture,-" he said.

In a stunning result, Trump on Wednesday beat seasoned politician and Hillary Clinton in the knife-edge polls, defying the odds to become the 45th US President after starting off as a rank political outsider.

It was a heart-break for Democratic nominee Clinton, who was hoping to become the first woman president of the US, as Trump edged past her in a see-saw battle which he clinched by winning 288 electoral college votes to Clinton's 215.
