A Better India: A Better World brings together Narayana Murthy’s views on issues that audiences around the world like to hear him speak on — from effective models of corporate and public governance to corporate social responsibility, from globalization and competing in a flat world to entrepreneurship and leadership challenges, from issues crucial to national development to good values and betterment of the education system. In A Better India: A Better World Narayana Murthy also unveils an ambitious blueprint for a vibrant, developed, egalitarian future that today’s youth must build tomorrow. There could be no better time than now to adopt Narayana Murthy’s bold, honest and positive approach to resolving the conflicts, dilemmas and downsides that face us today. A Better India: A Better World is a visionary document for our times
What is the key to a better India? Can we reach the benefits of development to everyone of our citizens? Is it really possible to make the world a better place — and how? With one of the highest GDP growth rates in the world and an array of recent achievements in technology, industry and entrepreneurship, India strides confidently towards the future. But in the world’s largest democracy, not everyone is equally fortunate. More than 300 million Indians are still prey to hunger, illiteracy and disease, and 51 per cent of India’s children are still undernourished.
What will take for India to bridge this great divide? When will the fruits of development reach the poorest of the poor, and wipe out the tears from the eyes of every man, woman and child, as Mahatma Gandhi had dreamt? And how should this, our greatest challenge ever, be negotiated?
In A Better India: A Better World, Narayana Murthy shows us that a society working for the greatest welfare of the greatest number must focus on two simple things: values and good leadership. Drawing on the remarkable Infosys story and the lessons learnt from the two decades of post-reform India, Narayana Murthy lays down the ground rules that must be followed if future generations are to inherit a truly progressive nation.
NR Narayana Murthy is the founder chairman of Infosys Technologies Limited, a global software consulting company with headquarters in Bangalore. He serves on the boards of Unilever, HSBC, NDTV, Ford Foundation and the UN Foundation. He also serves on the boards of Cornell University, Wharton School, Singapore Management University, Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore and INSEAD.
