Anyone going past the bangalore highyway to Hosur cannot afford to ignore the gigantic pyramid edifice , which signals one that he is just few meters away from one of the most respected companies in the world ! The very word "Infosys" has become household name in IT business ! One can boldly claim they are one of the reasons for putting India into the global IT highway ! The infy "team" by itself is an exemplary legacy of our times. NR knew early enough that IT is going to the future & that he was going to take a chunk of it ! His characteristic modesty carries an air wherever he goes - business or personal !
I would fail to honor if i miss NR's journey in bringing the company from a small room to city of edifices ! From a shy boy who could not make to IIT but decided to stick on with his dream of pursuing engineering NR has travelled a very unconventional path throughout his career ! ofourse he found a perfect partner in Ms.Sudha ! For that matter the kin of all the founders have stood by their better half ! Guess they were one of the first to identify the potential of these young men who were after something which was "new" to us then ! Warren buffet would definitely regret missing this golden nest !
What make him special is his vision for the company and the zeal with asidous courage to pursue it. Not just that, he encourages leadership at all levels of business and society. NR might have failed to take off in International airport, but not his reputation. They sadly would miss his corporate skills with human touch ! Tipu's capital got a new life as the bell to NASDAQ rang from mysore, becoming the first asian country to kick off stock trading remotely.
Infosys is the pioneers of employee stock options in India. The management have always should their concern for the employee and thier aspirations met . Otherwise no can imagine how one team could have built such a business empire from single brick ! We might have ambani's, gates, larry page but infy's founder NR definitely commands a space among the corporate doyens. he is one of the rare business men I have seen having vision for another 100 yrs !
I think for NR it is not a company but his bloodline. Guess the infosy'ans wil carry his baton forward and make thier boss & country proud !
NR might be bidding adieu as executive to infy, but societal india welcomes him. In another few years, we can even address him as : " Welcome Mr.president ! " . Narayan murthy no doubt will continue to inspire thousands of your enterpruners who want to make it big !
India is proud of you Mr.Murthy !
