Only ideas, entrepreneurship can create jobs and make India a developed country: NRN
Recalling his early days in university, he said that he had been raised in a value system that imparted the key idea that getting respect from society was the most satisfying result in one’s entrepreneurial journey
N.R. Narayana Murthy, co-founder of Infosys, emphasized that only ideas and entrepreneurship can create jobs and transform India into a developed nation. Speaking at the University Day event at O.P. Jindal Global University, he highlighted that failure is a natural part of the journey towards success. Murthy encouraged the student audience to learn from their failures, avoid repeating their mistakes, and maintain a positive mindset.
He stated that scientists and researchers never give up even when they fail, as they are trained to analyze their shortcomings and continue with renewed focus. According to Murthy, success demands rational thinking, concentration, and determination. He also stressed the importance of having a clear conscience, which he described as the "softest pillow," and how adhering to a set of moral values could guide one towards the right path.
Reflecting on his own university days, Murthy recalled the value system he grew up with, which taught him that societal respect was the ultimate satisfaction in entrepreneurial endeavors. He reiterated that hard work, honesty, respect, and integrity should always take precedence over personal gain, as these qualities are shaped by one's upbringing and surroundings.
