Infosys founder N. R. Narayana Murthy is in Jaipur on Friday. He participated in the talk show at Birla Auditorium as part of the Jaipur Citizen Forum Festival and while addressing the people present there, he said that money is not needed to get happiness. This is what my father taught us. NASSCOM founder Harish S Mehta and Tech Mahindra CEO and MD Chander P Gurnani also appeared on the talk show.
Read what Narayana Murthy said...
From Jaipur with more than 30 years. It is like my home Mysore. It is a beautiful city. Mirza Ismail was the Diwan of Mysore. Then the people here also became crazy. Jaipur is growing in software industry. All the resources needed by the industry are available here. Dedication is needed to pursue anything. There are many possibilities in Rajasthan. This is the state to take the country forward. It is not impossible to make the country a 5 trillion dollar economy. Cultural transformation is necessary before economic transformation.
My father was a high school teacher. Had 8 children, three brothers and 5 sisters. It was not easy to take care of them. Father always advised that money is not needed to get happiness. He explained to my brother that transistors are not needed to listen to music, you go to any park in Karnataka, there you will hear Carnatic music, Hindi music and sometimes English music too, but at a fixed timing.
Real happiness in life is available for free, listen to good music, read good books and choose good friends. All this will give happiness.
Earlier the technology and political challenges were immense. At that time it was not easy even to call someone, we were very weak in technology. Doing foreign business was also not easy.
If the leaders emerge as examples, then Ram Rajya will be seen being established in this country. Leaders should build their credibility and set examples in the country.
Tech Mahindra CEO said - Father was transferred every year because he was honest
Tech Mahindra CEO P Gurnani said in a talk show that his father was a police officer, he used to get transferred in 12 months because he was honest. He was posted in places like Kota, Jodhpur, Bhilwara, so I also chose honesty and work every day to do better.

Apart from the festival of Citizen Forum, I keep coming to the Jaipur Literature Festival. This is a special city.
