Apart from the financial results, what I liked most about Infosys is its succession policy. Mr Narayan Murthy to Nadan Nilekani to Gopalakrishnan especially when they are at 60 or less than 60 years of age. In any IT services companies, team building is the most important aspect apart from the financials. I wish the same succession policy is also followed by our ministers and vacate their chairs for the next line of leaders.

Do you all realise that all of the names mentioned above in the article are part of the original founding team of Infosys. They are all of nearly the same age and obviously are only playing their version of musical chairs by shifting up/sideways into different slots. Wipro on the other hand is completely Mr.Premji's show and he keeps appointing outside professionals in key positions.

This is where Infosys scores over dynastically run companies of Tata, Birla, et al. Even after the hard earned status of multi millioners, the infy team has not lost its middle class values.

Appreciate ur imagination to compare the political machine to arguably ONE OF India's best run companies!! My friend, it would be great if they don't find a way to cling on to their chairs after their deaths
