Narayan Murthy's tips for success
by rajesh on Jun 22, 2006 08:44 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Hi Friends,

I have no doubt about NRN achievements and his vision for his company and the whole nation. But I do differ while praising current generation IT leaders as compared to great businessman/Industrialists like JRD Tata, Birlas Godrejs etc.....

One thing is evident. Current generation leaders crib a lot about the existing system in our country like infractructure , education etc....Do they ever really invest their energy towards the social infrastructure issues like community development, education ? Just compare the businessman like JRD Tata with current generation IT leaders.....JRD Tata never cribbed or worried about the infrastructure in India. Instead he built the whole system on his own by taking lack of infrastructure as a challenge. Look at the manufacturing companies those were built by Tatas in 1950s....without much support from Indian Govt....forget about land at chaper prices and tax holidays....not paying enough corporate taxes etc.....
Tatas even built scientific institutions like IISC/TIFR etc...But we do not see any of such R & D institutes and social developments from compannies like Infy/Satyams and others even when their profit is crossing billions

I fully agree with you rajesh really companies which deserve respect are from manufacturing as any body can make profit when you earn in dollars and spend in rupees (1 = 45). Also all the software companies run only a totaly different domain so process followed by them are not applicable to other areas i myself am a software engineer.
But you see when u have crossed 20billion mark people give u right to speak whatever u want, but seldomly do anything to improve situation. I am sorry if i have hurt any bodies sentiments here.

I agree with you two, that after assimilating such high liquidated funds, companies like INFOSYS should come up with R & D institutions and social developments. I hope that at this very point of time when i am posting this reply, the management is thinking about the same.
