I wish Infy had passed the benefits of these excellent results to its employees also! They are one of the least paid, over worked, almost exploited workforce in the entire IT industry. having worked for both Infy and an American telecom multinational, I realised that Infy spends more money on things that do not matter for its employees in the long run like the campus at Mysore, which is built at a staggering cost of some 100's of crores, but most of the employes get to avail it for just a few months. I guess this is where Indian and American companies differ.

the problem of neglecting the employees lies with almost all of the indian companies. ders a lot of difference in which the americans,europians and the indians run the company. While americans,europians consider their employees as their assets, the indians consider their employees as a burden on d company.

Akhere Indian companies are "Baniyas" and suckers. The history of Indian industries is exploiting employees. Moree, the benefit of industrilaization is not passing on to people in rural areas. How many rural engineers represent Infosys? How many represent MNCs? I demand that affirmative action by govt (not in line of caste, but rural/city orirntation) needs to be taken so that rural india represents the indian industry. Why the hell rural folks will end up doing only blue color jobs? Most Indians who work in good companies today, their parents were corrup govt officers 20-40 years back. They reaped the benefit, could send their kids in good schools and they represent the posh Indian talent today. These people go to godo companies, US, etc. I have come to believeing that talent is a 6 letter word only which can be bought and is being bought by money and infrastructure. I like in Rajasthan and we have a city here Kota that produces 85% of the IIT entrants ecery year. They come from different parts of India, well off society and they only can cough up the big money for specialized coaching. Getting into IITs through grindings is no big achievement. Exam centric preparation does not make one talented. You IIT boys who are working in the industry must understand this truth.

"Akhere Indian companies are "Baniyas" and suckers. The history of Indian industries is exploiting employees. " - yep that puts it in the perfect context... that's the reality in many third world countries that have senseless population growth... So the root casze is diferent "Why the hell rural folks will end up doing only blue color jobs?" - cos the true benefits of reservation did not reach them. Which is why there are whole families of SC and OBC doctors in cities, who can afford post graduation abroad "I demand that affirmative action by govt (not in line of caste, but rural/city orirntation) needs to be taken so that rural india represents the indian industry" - a more sensible form of reservation. But cannot be implemented by the rulers and lawmakers by removing existing caste bsed reservation... In addition to case bsed reservation, maybe in the future when things get worse

The rich OBCs will easily circumvent it. Every one will cretae a rural address for himself while living in cities and deprive the original ruralites of their due.

narayana murrthi is a cunning fox... he would not give a penny xtra...when he earns in billions...although its his right and talent to earn money..he should also think of the hard work of his employees...i think Mr.Tata is better than NRM in this...and as mr saint mentioned above... all the american and europian countries really differs here
