Sam Pitroda @ Great Lakes
It gives immense pleasure to share with the readers of my blog that I had an opportunity to attend a Guest Lecture delivered by Sam Pitroda over a Video Conference L’attitude – 13o 5 , a B-School Fest Organized by Great Lakes Institute of Management.
Satyanarayan Gangaram Pitroda, better known as Dr Sam Pitroda, born in Titlagarh, Orissa, is an inventor, entrepreneur and policymaker. Currently chairman of India's National Knowledge Commission, he is also widely considered to have been responsible for India's communications revolution. He is the Chairman and CEO of World-Tel Limited, an International Telecommunication Union (ITU) initiative.
He is the founder and CEO of C-SAM, Inc, which has developed a suite of patented mobile transaction technology called OneWallet. Mr. Pitroda has lived mainly in Chicago, Illinois since 1964, with his wife and two children.
Sam talked about creating Knowledge is going to be wealth. The 11th 5-year plan is going to work on enhancing Knowledge in the country. We need truck drivers, carpenters, nurses to grow the economy. This is where a huge gap exists in terms of the need and available skills. He appealed to the students that Ethical Values and Discipline is required to excel.
