Many surprises lie in store for an academic who stiays
into the real world. The first such surprise to come rey
way during a stint as a university aclministrator related
to the photocopyingmachines withinmy jurisdiction. I
discovered thatpaper for the machines plus contiactual
maintenance cost substantially more than photocopies
in theprivatemarket This took no account ofthe other
costs ofthe photocopiers- ink, spare parts, the space
occupied by the machine, the interests and
depreciation on it, the wages ofthe machine operator,
the loss oftime when the machine broke down or the
operatorabsented himself.

6. The university-&ld indeed the entire educational
system- was in a financial crisis. Here was a situation
calling for a quick and painless execution ofall white
elephants, or so I thought. I proposed that we stop
using the photocopying machines and get our
photocopies made by a private operator who had
rented space from our institution. Further, we could
reduce our costs well below the market price through
an agreement with the private opetator, which would
let him run our surplus machines in exchange for a
price concession.
I had expected my proposal to be eagerly embtaced by
animpoverished university. Instead, it createda furore.
In a progressive institution like ours, how could I have
the temerity to suggest handing over a university asset

name of VIP security provoked public protest, the
Prime Minister desired that VIP security should be
made "unobtrusive". VIP housing, however, is an
entirely unobtrusiveburden on the public, buta burden
of quite mind boggling proportions. Perhaps it is the
silent chalacter of this infliction that has made it so
easy to impose. Or perhaps centuries of colonial rule
have made habitual slaves of us: a mere 50 years of
democracy cannot erase our slavish habit of
obsequiousness to theimperial state anditsrulers.

When talk turns to how ｉｮ､ｩ｡ｾ＠ done for itselfin 50
years of independence, the world has nothing but
praise for our success in rentaining a demoCiacy. On
other fronts, the applause is less loud. In absolute
terms, India hasn't done too. Badly, of course. Life
expectancy has increased So has litmcy. Industry,
which was barely a fledgling, has grown tremendously.
And as far as agriculture is concerned, India has been
tiansformed from a counuy perpetually on the edge of
starvation into a success story held up for others to
emulate.
But these are competitive times when change is mpid,
and to walk slowly when the rest of the world is
running is almost as bad as standing still or walking
backwards. Compared with large chunks ofwhat was
then the developing world - South Korea, Singapore,
llla1aysia, Thailand, Indonesia, China andwhat was till
lately a separate Hong Kong - India has fared
abysmally.
It began with a far better infrastructure than most of
these countries had. It suffered hardly or not at all

That the government actually sheltered its
industrialists from foreign competition is a little
stiange. For, in all otherrespects, it opemted under the
conviction that businessmen were little more than
crooks who were to be prevented from entering the
most important areas ofthe economy, who were to be
hamstrung in as many ways as possible, who were to
be tolerated in the same way as an in excisable wart.
The high, expropriatory mtes of=tion, the licensing
law;, the reservation ofwhole swathes ofindustry for
the public sector, andthe !Jallting ofmonopolies to the
public sector firms were theprincipal manifestations of
this attitude. The government forgot thatbefore wealth
could be distributed, it had to be created. The
government forgot that it itself could not create, only
squanderwealth.
Some of the manifestations of the old attitude have
changed. Tax rates have fallen Licensing has been all

The inftastructure is in a shambles partly because it is
unable to fonnulate a sufficiently remunemtive policy
for private business, and partly because it does not
have the stomach to chargemarketrates for services.
After a burst of activity in the early nineties, the
government is d!agging its feet. At the rate it is going,
it will be another 50 years before the government
realizes that a pro- business policy is the best pro-

populations. This information is passed to a direct-

Ofthe greatest leaders, it is said byhis followers, long
after he has gone, he made us do it Ifleadership is the
art ofpersuading your people to follow your bidding,
withouttheir realizingyourinvolvement, the archecype
ofits practice is N. R. Narayana Murthy, the chairman
and managing director of the Rs 143.81 crore Infosys
Technologies (Infosys). For, the 52 year old CEO of
the globalised software corpomtion - which he
founded with seven friends, and a combined capital of
Rs. I0,000 in 1981, and which now occupies the front
tanks of the counuy's most admired corporations -
leads withthe subtlest ofweapons: personal example.
Infosys tanks only 578th among the country's listed
companies, and sixth in the software sector, in terms of
its turnover. But it is setting new standards for India
Inc. through its pmctice of inter alia awarding stock
options to its employees, putting the value of its
intellectual assets and its brands on its balance-sheet,
and conforming to the disclosure standards of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the
US. Behind all this is the stubborn personal
subscription of its CEO to the underlying causes of
wealth-creation, people-power and transparency.
"What were choices earlier are compulsions now;·

classt leadership genres - llansactional or
llansformational, situational or visionary. His chosen
style, instead, is to lead by eJample, ensuring that the
CEO's actions setthetemplate for all Info scions.
Murthy believes that the betterment of man can be
brought about through the "creation ofwealth, legally
and ethically". The personal example that he has set
enabled his company to mirror those beliefs: eying his
ownrewards, and measuring his value to the company,
to his ability to create wealth, and erecting systems for
the company's wealth to be sharedby its people. Sums

up Nandan Nilekani, 41, deputy managing director,
Infosys: "This is the future model of the corpomtion.
Runan excellent company, and let the tnalket increase

Although Murthy is one ofthe prime beneficiaries of
the philosophy - his I0 per cent stake in Infosys is
IMlrth Rs 130 crore today - in his book, the leader
leads not by grabbing the- booty- but by teaching
others to takewhat they deserve.

ｬｬ ｾ ｯｮｮｧ＠ Murthy's example, Infosys has set up a
te logy advancement unit, whose mandate is to
llack, evaluate, and assimilate new techniques and
methodologies. In fact, Murthy views learning not just
as amassing data, but as a process that enables him to
use the lessons from failure to achieve success. This
self-corrective loop is what he demonstrates through
his leadership during a crisis.
In 1995, for example, Infosys lost a Rs. I 5-crore
account - then 20 percent ofits revenues - 1Mlen the
$69 billion GE yanked its business from it. Instead of
recriminations, Murthy activated Infosys' machinety
to understandwhy the business was taken away, and to
leverage the learning for getting new clients instead.
Feeling determined instead of guilty, his employees
went on to sign up high profile customers like the $20
billion Xerox, the $7 billion Levi Strauss, and the $14
billionNynex.
"You must have a multi-dimensional view of
pamdigms," says the multi-tasking leader. The
objective is obvious: ensure that Infosys' perspective
on its business and the IMlrld comes from as many
vantage points as possible so that corpomte strategy
can be synthesized not from a narrowvision, but from
a wide angle lens. In !act Murthy still regrets that, in
its initial years, infosys didn't distil a multi-pronged
understanding of the environment into its strategies,
vJrich forced it on to an incremental pith that led
revenues to snake up from Rs. 0.02 crore to just Rs. 5
crorein the first 10 years.

12. It was after looking aroood itself instead of focusing
on its initial business ofbanking software, that Infosys
managed to accelerate. Today the company operates
with stretch targets, setting distant goals and working
backwards to get to them The crucial pillar on which
Murthy bases his ethical leadership is openness.
Transparency, he reckons, is the clearest signal that
one has nothing to hide. The personal manifeslations
of that are inter alia the practice of always giving
complete information whenever aey employee,
customer, or investorasks for it: the loudly proclaimed
insistence that every Info scion pay taxes and file
returns; and a perpetually open office into which
anyone can walk into.
