He is sometimes called 'The Bill Gates of Asia'. I do not want to enter into any analysis whether he truly deserves to be called as 'The Bill Gates of Asia' or not. I just want to remind my readers of just one thing- 25 years ago, India had hardly any success in Information technology and outsourcing. Even the Indian government mainly followed a closed type of economic policy and did not encourage IT like now. N R Narayana Murthy is among the few pioneers who guided India to become an IT super power. If you like to know about him in details just visit the links that are given at the end of this entry.
What attracts me about Mr. Murthy most is the fact that he has the best of the East and the West in his personality. He has got humility, kindness and strong devotion to his profession like a high South Asian man. On the other hand, he has the professionalism of the west. He is fearless in facing any obstacle and any challenge. Forbes has mentioned that the source of his fortune is ' self made'. Indeed, he is a self made man and has helped many others to become successful in their life at Infosys.
One of the reasons that Infosys has become so successful is that Mr. Murthy has always followed a philanthropic attitude and vision. Workers at Infosys are perhaps among the happiest people in Infosys in terms of salary, work environment and job satisfaction.
I strongly wish that South Asia can have more pioneering figures like Mr. Murthy in the coming days.
