Before joining Palo Alto Networks, from 2016 through 2018, Arora was an angel investor, and from June 2016 through December 2017, he served as an advisor to SoftBank Group Corp., a multinational conglomerate company.

From July 2015 through June 2016, Arora served as president and chief operating officer of SoftBank, and from July 2014 through June 2015, Arora served as vice chair and chief executive officer of SoftBank Internet and Media, a subsidiary of SoftBank. 

Prior to SoftBank, from December 2004 to July 2014, Arora held multiple senior leadership operating roles at Google, Inc., including senior vice president and chief business officer from January 2011 to June 2014. 

Arora also serves on the board of Compagnie Financiere Richemont S.A., a publicly traded Swiss-based luxury goods holding company. Arora previously served on the boards of Aviva plc, an insurance company, from 2007 to 2009; Bharti Airtel, a communications services company, from 2008 to 2014; Sprint Corp., a communications services company, from 2014 to 2016; Colgate-Palmolive Company, a worldwide consumer products company, from 2012 to 2014; SoftBank from 2014 to 2016; and Yahoo!
