I am not sure how or why NRN and Azim Premji were chosen as 'father of Indian IT'. They can be credited with probably selling Indian IT well, though in Wipros case the credit probably is more Vivek Pauls. But as Father of Indian IT I would vote for FC Kohli anytime. He was a visionary in a lot of ways. While a lot of people are credited with the outsourcing success stories, it FC Kohli and TCS who were the pioneers in the offshore-onshore model. Pity that the pioneers are forgotten and the new kids on the block get the credits of the pioneers, simply because the new kids marketed themselves and their achievements much better.
