N.R.Narayana Murthy @ Great Lakes
I had an opportunity to attend the Guest Lecture delivered by N.R Narayana Murthy @ L’attitude – 13o 5 , a B-School Fest Organized by Great Lakes Institute of Management.
He addressed the students of Great Lakes and other students from premier B-Schools of the Country. “This is an extraordinary time for India. Never in the last 300 years we have seen such a great time. Never a foreigner thought about India contributing to the world other than spices. Economy is growing well, NSE, BSE doing well, more billionaires are from India than any other country. All is good. However, there is another picture.
India has the largest mass of illiterates. 350 Mn cannot read or write, only 65% are literate, 250 Mns do not have access to safe drinking water, 750 Mn do not have access to sanitation. We created an environment for the first time for solving all the problems. Inclusive Growth. Wipe out the tears of people. We are in a position to create acceptable levels of nutrition, healthcare, shelter, clothing and bridge the gap between rich & poor and rural & urban. I see this environment which can create such an India when I’m with students. I smell, breath and live such an environment. I don’t see such an environment when I am with other people. Bright students who are ready to take on the world into despondent and unhappy individuals. You will reverse and accelerate the process to create a mindset . Make a difference to the world. Bala’s (read Prof Bala V Balachandran) of the world will become norms of the world and not an exception. You have tremendous responsibility to redeem on that promise. Few things you have to do
Open Mind : Challenge to over come the inertia of the world. Force required for a resurgent India is to become Open Mindedness.
Ease to accept the ways to go
Ease to subordinate your ego
Ease to say we will interact with the world
Ease to say ‘Welcome All
Ease to go around, observe an absorb other problems
Without open mindset, it is not successful
2. Data and Facts: At Infy we have a norm, ‘We Trust in God and everybody else to come with the data to the table’. We will create an environment of meritocracy. Every idea should be evaluated. People take positions and stands on decision based on ego and perspectives. One needs to change such thing based on data and facts.
We are at a time when India can afford to have an inclusive growth. People planning to become CEOs need to learn corporate governance to get respect from the society and governance to have longevity. People need to go to abroad to add value to the society as well. Spread the information of good citizenships of India.
We are at a time where growth is evident, and is an opportunity for innovation. Posteriori won’t excuse us. We need to show our commitment, hard work and honesty.
Redeem yourself with this opportunity to make the whole world proud about you. ”
