Mon Dec 18 22:04:41 2000
Name:Himanshu Vyas
Email:himanv@yahoo.com
Nomination:Narayana Murthy
Reason:If there is one reason to be
a proud India, it would be IT.
This is the only field where
we can actually compete
globally. And the most
impressive of all Indian IT
companies is InfoSys, and Mr.
Murthy and his colleagues have
done a fine job of putting
InfoSys (and India) on the world
IT map.
Murthy showed Indians that being rich does not
take bribing people; or looting the poor; or having
unfair trade practices; it just takes skill
and hardwork, and any Indian can do it, be rich, and
be truly independent, instead of waiting for some
government hand-outs.
Murthy also shares the company's wealth with all
his employees, unlike so many other Indian industrialists.
He has made 200+ people millionaires.
And yet, he himself does not live like a
maharaja--he has a sense of corporate good-citizenship.
All in all, while Bangalore was shut due to
ill-equipped government unable to handle a
forest brigand, InfoSys was still making it!
Lets hope for Bangalore and for India that Murthy and
his company spawn more such good works and
more such good people.
