Welcome to the age of reluctant economic reforms, new-found cannon of corporate governance and the insolence of technology. This has created a new hierarchy in the India Inc who have their businesses crossed national boundaries and expanded India's global footprint.
One of the prominent portion of this power brigade are the technocrats who have become an important part of the India's Power Group.
Recently, The Economic Times Corporate Dossier commissioned India Inc's Most Powerful CEOs survey conducted by IMRB International. The survey ranks CEOs in terms of power they wield in corporate India, and the country's economy at large. Here we bring to you the tech CEOs who form an important part of the list.
The most powerful tech CEO on the list is NR Narayana Murthy, Chairman of the Board and Chief Mentor of Infosys Technologies (ranks at third position on the India's 100 Most Powerful CEO's list).
Murthy founded Infosys in 1981 along with six other software professionals and served as the CEO for 21 years before handing over the reins of the company to co-founder Nandan M Nilekani in March 2002. Under his leadership, Infosys was listed on NASDAQ in 1999. He served as the Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Mentor from 2002 to 2006.
Murthy is the recipient of numerous awards and honours. The Economist ranked him 8th on its list of 15 most admired global leaders in 2005. He was ranked 28th among the world's most respected business leaders by The Financial Times in 2005.
Murthy holds a BE (Electrical) from the University of Mysore (1967) and MTech (Electrical) from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (1969). He has been conferred with honorary doctorate degrees by leading universities across the world.
