A Better India, A Better World ( Narayan Murthy )

Since when was life fair! As India strides ahead in the fields of technology, entrepreneurship, and industrialism, it also is struggling with facts about undernourishment, illiteracy and disease. You have huge advancements being talked about in India, coupled with certain stark truths such as those shown in 'Slumdog Millionaire'. Life is like that. There have been constant attempts to bridge this great divide. 'A Better India, A Better World' shows us some avenues.

Quoting N.R. Narayana Murthy, who pioneered, designed and executed the Global Delivery Model that has become the cornerstone of India’s success in information technology services outsourcing, shows us that a society working for the greatest welfare of the greatest number—samasta jananam sukhino bhavantu—must focus on two simple things: values and good leadership.

This book also shows the importance of an emerging India in the world, and how the progress of India is intimately linked with the progress of the rest of the world as well. To quote the book, "A better India holds the key to a better world."

While talking with Shishi Bhate, Murthy says, "Every nation from time to time will face difficulties in the economic scenario and that is the time when we all have to show greater determination, sacrifice, and commitment."

Based on lectures delivered around the globe, the book makes a great reading and is specially relevant for the youth.
