What's in a name?

The legendary Shakespeare once said "Whats in a name?". Today many years down the line one of India's most prestigious entrepreneur proved it right, perfectly right! India's fourth largest IT company built on lies, and fraud contrary to its name - Satyam! But in fact what great source to lead to the downhall - Maytas, the reverse and the opposite of Satyam - the truth.

This puts a question mark on the running of the other biggies in the IT industry. I really don't know about the others, but would definitely not like to put Infosys in the same list. I consider NRN to be my idol and can't see him in the same light as what was done and become of Raju.

Having had seen him from close for two years during my stint with Infosys, I have only heard the best of anecdotes about him whether from his colleagues, his personal staff or the housekeeping staff of his office. With him as a leader in Infosys, even be it non executive I strongly believe he has set a legacy for Infosys with a strong value set to emulate.

I do not know how many people would read this article, neither do I consider myself significant enough whose opinion can be valued, but I'd still like to say Infosys is definitely a company to look up to. The values we have learnt are what makes us different!! Not just the name, afterall!
