...Lessons for success shared by Azim Premji June 5, 2008 I just made a post on a lesson from the Infosys Chief Mentor, Shri. Narayana Murthy about . Here comes another email from Shri. Azim Premji, Chairman and CEO, Wipro where he shares about what he learned from gaining success. Dear Wiproite, My own successes and setbacks along the way have taught me some lessons. I wish to share them with you and hope you will find them useful. Lesson #1: Be careful to ask what you want. You may get it. What this means is that do not ask too little either of yourself or the others around you. What you ask is what you get. When I look back at the time when I joined Wipro, I was 21. If you ask me whether I thought that Wipro would grow so by someday, the honest answer is that I did not. But neither did I think it would not. We constantly stretched ourselves to higher and higher targets. Sometimes, it seemed possible, sometimes fanciful and sometimes plain insane. But we never stopped raising limits. And we got a lot more than what we bargained for. Lesson # 2: Respond, don’t react Always be aware of your emotions and learn to manage them. There is a huge difference between people who react impulsively and those who can disengage themselves and then respond at will. By choosing to respond differently, we can prevent another person from controlling our behaviour. I remember a small story that illustrates this well. There was once a newspaper vendor who had a rude Customer. Every morning...

Earlier today, Ramalinga Raju, Satyam’s founder and longtime chairman, admitted in a letter to the board that he had been cooking the books for years to make up for revenue and profit shortfalls. Read the details in this report by my BW colleague, Manjeet Kripalani. In his letter, Raju wrote that the cover-up finally got the best of him: “It was like riding a tiger, not knowing how to get off without being eaten.” This admission will have a crippling impact on Satyam. Its chances of getting new business are nil. Don’t expect its current customers to abandon the company overnight. That’s not easy in a tech services business where the operations of the client and service provider are so interwoven. On the other hand, it’s possible that the company may collapse financially, in which case clients will have no choice but to flee. Which brings us to a bigger shock: This betrayal of trust could have a major impact on the entire Indian tech services industry. The industry has spent 20 years building up credibility with Western clients, but this disaster will make many US and European clients rethink their reliance on Indian outsourcing...

...IT from India’ to 'IT for India' Bottom of Form India has come a long way as a supplier of IT services to the world. Analysts say that India has revolutionized the services sector the same way as Japan changed the manufacturing sector. But, Indian IT sector has mainly catered to a global market, and very little was done for the local market in India in the past. India presents a very large untapped market in terms of technology adoption and usage. The scope of technology development for India as a market is at a position when the world was some 15 years ago. The major advantage is that India can start implementing technology from the point where the rest of the world is right now. It can leapfrog ahead of the rest of the world with very little legacy technology to cope with. Indian Market-India should be considered not as a country but as another world in itself. People have committed the mistake of considering it as a single big unit of similar attributes and needs or in other cases, seen little value in understanding the diversity of the country. They concentrated more on the well-off English speaking crowd of the country and never seen any true value in tapping the regional segments. FMCG, Education, Entertainment almost everyone else except IT has understood the value of tapping into the regional segments. This can be mainly attributed to the fact that IT was never meant for the Indian market. While other industries aimed to cater to local demand, IT was basically present...

IT, more than any other industry or economic facet, has an increased productivity, particularly in the developed world, and therefore is a key driver of global economic growth.

Owing to its easy accessibility and the wide range of IT products available, the demand for IT services has increased substantially over the years.

What are the channels through which impacts can be realized, and what are the practical means for realizing potential benefits? This paper examines several ongoing projects that aim to provide IT-based services to rural populations in India. These projects are distinguished by the goal of commercial sustainability, which supports scalability and, therefore, more widespread benefits. The analysis highlights the common building blocks required for successful implementation, and the relative strengths and weaknesses of different approaches.

...E-Governance for Rural Development Swati Bhatt Sr. Lecturer (Marketing Area), Dept of Management Studies India is a land of diversity. This diversity spans across culture, tradition, language, geography and the economic condition of the people. It is a nation that has a significant number of people who are below the minimal socio-economic benchmarks. This includes rural and urban poor, women in rural areas, street children, people belonging to historically disadvantaged castes and people living in less developed areas. The vulnerability of these sections of society has increased with globalization and this section is prone to become even more marginalized - economically and socially. Successive governments have committed themselves to addressing these divides, but effective implementation of various economic development programmes aimed at individuals belonging to these sections of society has proved an elusive goal. During the 1980s and early 1990s, initial attempts towards e-Governance were made with a focus on networking government departments and developing in-house government applications in the areas of defence, economic monitoring, planning and the deployment of IT to manage data-intensive functions related to elections, census, tax administration etc.80 These applications focused on automation of internal government functions rather than on improving service delivery to citizens. Over the past decade or so, there have been islands of e-Governance initiatives...
