Kiran Karnik's new book launched at the recent Nasscom Leadership Forum is all about the theme of how people who fight bitterly in global and domestic competition are able to come together extremely well for common causes like global trade, innovation and other industry issues. It is a natural trait of all human beings to collaborate and we are only forced to take combative positions when the necessity of competition force us to do so !
My own experiences with NASSCOM over nearly two decades reveal that all IT CEOs are well meaning blokes and whether it is industry founder FC Kohli, doyen Narayana Murthy or even non resident former Chairmen like Raj Jain and Firoze Vandrewala, the alignment to the common cause is very strong indeed. Long may this bonhomie last and take this 100 billion dollar industry to a trillion by 2030 !
Kiran Karnik himself like his predecessor Dewang Mehta has collaborative skills as one of his main characteristics. I owe my Chairmanship of NASSCOM in 2008-09 to this man who genuinely believed that contributors should find their place in the sky even if it is resplendent with the shine of many bright suns !
