If anyone read this diatribe by an IITian and US Berkeley grad - Mr Sinha about Infosys Chief Murthy - might be interested about Ambani brothers' education also.
Mr Sinha mentions that Murthy was on the board of Cornell - where his son had/having his education. Also Dirubhai Ambani was also on the board of Stanford/ Wharton MBA program. But the question is whether these gents got on the board AFTER their children went to study there or before. I remember reading about Ambani - that he donated millions of dollars to the institutions - AFTER his sons joined there. It is most likely - that like many affluent parents of Univ grads in US - he got enthused . Similarly about Murthy.
Similarly, Azim Premji of Wipro came to Harvard Bus. School this spring for a talk - becos his son is studying there - should anyone hold that against him? What about Prince Charles roaming around the world -incl. Whie House this week - doing nothing concrete - on UK Taxpayers' money.
I did read somewhere earlier that Murthy's daughter went to US NOT on her parents' money but on some hard earned schol.
Further, Mr Sinha mentions that Murthys got married on a few hundred rupees and later went to US -for holidays. I should applaud Murthys' getting married for cheap --unlike LN Mittal's daughter's marriage costing 60 million dollars. I do not buy that Murthy's would go to US - on holidays - any comments? Most likely they went after many years - or on a business trip.
I agree with Mr Sinha that bragging about IITs could backfire - esp. if it is not based on facts (as he listed out the bogus claim of IIT-K mafia at MIT).
However, I think one should not cast aspersions about anyone - unless you can back them with facts. I have this bad habit too - but if pointed out I do make amends.
In US there is always a fear of getting sued too.
Any comments?
