Infosys Co-founder, NR Narayana Murthy at SRM University

On Saturday, NR Narayana Murthy, the IT major Infosys Co-founder said that globalisation has created an extremely competitive enviraonment where faster pace of innovation is very important to achieve success.

He was speaking at the SRM University' 13th Convocation at the Kattankulathur Campus and Padma Vibhushan awardee was invited as the chief guest there.

“The implications of globalisation are that corporations are facing extreme competition; the pace of innovation is faster today; you have to quickly develop your ideas and innovate faster than your competitors,” he said.

“You have to be open to new ideas and be willing to learn new ideas and unlearn outdated ideas. You have to learn new cultures and paradigms. Age is not a factor for learning. Learn to question. The hierarchy of ideas is more important, not of men and women,” Narayana Murthy, indicating that the graduates must apply and learn new ideas and imply them in work.
