Narayana Murthy Epitomized India's Liberalization

Three business leaders have defined the last 60 years. J R D Tata, genteel, principled, a humanist and visionary who shaped the first 20 years and laid the foundation for a modern India. Dhirubhai Ambani, whose success destroyed India's licence quota raj, shaped the next 20. India's liberalisation created the N R Narayana Murthy (NRN) era, of building a global business based on technology, the best corporate governance practices, creating a meritocracy, offering hope to India's educated middle class.
